Starting an AAU team

Can we start our own AAU team? Any idea how we would go about that?

Anyone can do it. AAU has a site. Are you ready for the time commitment, cost and hassle? You better be obsessed just so your kid can start.

My kid and his friends will be doing it, not me.

you don't even need to officially register anywhere. You, the adult, needs to try and get gym space from the county. If you ask for a 9 pm slot, you will likely get one somewhere. Then they can just sign up for whatever tournaments they want to play in.

You need team insurance to practice in most schools. It's not hard to get and not expensive, but it's been too many years since I did it to have a contact.

How do we find out ahead of time where and when the tournaments are, who's going, etc?

Filter by state. Good starting point.

Get the Sports Engine Tourney app. That will have lots of low level local tournaments that would be good for a team wanting to just play for fun (shots up, premiere go time hoops, etc)
