[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted one of the responses about jellef. My son did about a year and a half of PPA, it’s basically rec with a paid coach. Do not go into it expecting a good coach, we had one great one and the rest were duds. They knew something about b-ball but lacked crowd control skills. One practice per week and one on the weekend made it very expensive rec. iIf you want your son to play and have fun either rec or PPA. To actually learn something, maybe look into hooped or other clinics to supplement after several seasons of PPA my son hadn’t learned much but thought he was all an all star.
Since he has chosen b-ball we signed him up for a lot of summer camps and eventually got him involved in an AAU team.[/quote]

PP,  how did you find the right AAU team?  Hear about a lot of leagues with bad coaches. How did you find a good league and coach?[/quote]

We started with team one that my sons peers had joined so kind of followed the lead of those ahead of us. It was expensive (but in line for the area - i find $600 for 8 weeks of basketball expensive), coaching was ok but not a good overall experience and did nothing for my sons confidence. We happened to play another league team close our house. During the game I struck up a conversation with one of the parents from the other team. At the end of the season we switched (team didn’t require tryouts) and never looked back. Finding the right fit worked out well for us. I hope my son sticks with this team through high school (he’s in middle school.)[/quote]
