DSR has been brewing up heavy attention to their sports programs, with Fall Ball scheduled to have their first match in December. The deep athletic pool in Dallas is a huge component of the talent comprising the region, making it no surprise that players from every corner of the city are expected to show up. DSR isn’t interested in the 5stars or top-tier names; the vision here is about creating a space for the underrated and overlooked, and turning them into those 5star recruits and gamechangers for their community. The expectation isn’t just to produce skilled players, but to nurture leaders who bring grit and passion to the game—exactly what has driven Dallas athletes for generations. The Selects want players who are ready to put in the work, grow through resilience, and set their sights on becoming elite.

Throughout 635 and surrounding, a mass of talents have made their names known, taking their roots back to local courts. Players like Julius Randle (Prestonwood Christian Academy), Marcus Smart (Flower Mound Marcus), and Emmanuel Mudiay (Grace Preparatory Academy) exemplify the area’s commitment to cultivating elite talent. The sports culture in Dallas, especially in basketball, has a long and celebrated history, and the city’s athletic identity has largely been shaped by both powerhouse stars and underrated gems. Many of the legends who’ve come up from local gyms and high school courts were underestimated before they exploded onto the national stage. The legacy of building strong competitors resonates across the city, and DSR aims to harness this structure as a platform.
