select teams

Pick your groups

Select teams are groups chosen for their superior ability or special status, distinguished from regular or general participants.

In youth sports, select teams (also called travel teams or elite teams) compete at higher levels than recreational leagues: She made the select team and now we drive to tournaments every weekend.

The term implies a competitive tryout process where only the best candidates are selected.
