[quote=Anonymous]I'm not more knowledgeable than you are, but I did notice a few years ago that teams started calling themselves "grassroots" rather than AAU. Team Takeover being one example, I think. It was when AAU went to age-based rather than grade-based, meaning, in theory, that the holdbacks couldn't play against younger kids. You could think of the EYBL, UAA, and Uprising as the highest level of grassroots exposure basketball or travel basketball or select basketball for high-school players. AAU tournaments (including the Div. 1 national championship) still mean something in baby ball through sixth grade. I guess you know there are also elite regional leagues/circuits for eighth-graders now, too, boys and girls. But yes, AAU's brand has lost its significance for high-school players especially.[/quote]
