[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are different options out there.  For example, in Northern Maryland there are AAU.  I am not exactly sure how that works.  Montgomery County is lumped into AAU with Northern Virginia, but all the teams around here are USA Swimming.  I think there are more AAU in Northern Virginia.  Here in MOCO USA Swimming is competitive Olympics oriented swimming.  I was looking into AAU, because my daughter is in AAU basketball, and I prefer the parent coach-oriented style.  There is a trend towards AAU in swimming since the pandemic basically locked many 8yo groups out of the competitive clubs.  They weren't in the pool at all, except the ones that were in very young.  Many of the competitive programs are forgoing USA Swimming fees.  USA Swimming lost like 18,000 swimmers during the pandemic and haven't recovered.  The swim meets are a miserable waste of time, I would rather be swimming myself.[/quote]

Can you share info about the AAU basketball for girls? Is that in Montgomery County?[/quote]

PP was talking about AAU as an option for [b]SWIMMING[/b], not basketball.

There is AAU basketball but this is the wrong forum - you should ask that question in the basketball forum, down the hall, 3rd door on the left:
