Our Story

Marathon Elite AAU Basketball is a new and exciting program set to launch in the fall of 2024. Founded by Jayden Dorilas and Pat Dorilas, two passionate basketball enthusiasts with a shared vision, Marathon Elite was created to provide young athletes with an unparalleled opportunity to grow both on and off the court. The Dorilas brothers recognized a need in the community for a program that not only emphasizes basketball excellence but also focuses on character development, teamwork, and leadership.

Drawing on their extensive experience in coaching, mentoring, and playing the game, Jayden and Pat are committed to building a program that stands out in the AAU landscape. Marathon Elite is about more than just winning games; it's about preparing athletes for success in life. Our program is designed to be a stepping stone for young players who aspire to take their game to the next level while instilling values that will serve them well beyond their basketball careers.
