[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 cents…

1. You don’t have to register as an “AAU” team unless you plan to play in AAU sanctioned or sponsored tournaments. Just call yourselves a travel team. But better to follow AAU age (or grade) “rules” if you plan to play in the larger tournaments.

2. Find a dedicated parent coach and hire a trainer to help out if needed.

3. Your team can join a local league or play bump games to start out. My son’s friends have joined travel teams that participated in Little Legends. I think LL includes weekly gym practice space in its team fee.

4. There are several grassroots leagues in Maryland and DC (but I can’t recall the details).

you call yourself an AAU team and make kids register with AAU for the insurance. It's not expensive to register with AAU and it would be reckless for someone, especially someone with assets, to form a team without that kind of insurance [/quote]

My kid played AAU ball for 5 years on several teams, including on an EYBL team during high school, and never registered with AAU. [/quote]
