[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. Don’t think my son would ever be a d1 play but has D2 potential. 5’10 and 13. We are in falls church and was thinking something closer than PG but don’t know what that commute looks like or if he would ever make that type of team. Looking more for local tournaments than big circuits.[/quote]

This is the first poster that named the PG teams. To be honest, even D2 level talent takes a lot of work and talent. Bball is probably the hardest sport to be recruited for in college and the DMV area is probably the hardest of any area in the country. Watch Something In The Water documentary to get an understanding of DMV bball. Anyway, without knowing what level your kid is right now, I would say go ahead and try out for a lower level team in Nova for fall season. Also still try out for Winter PYBL. Once he’s at his local high school, he will meet more bball boys and could potentially move up to a higher tier AAU team at the 15U level Freshman year. It does become easier at that level as he could carpool with high school teammates etc. I would still look at skills development training in addition and would highly recommend DNA Elite in Springfield. I have no affiliation with them but their development program is too notch. Not recommending it but they even have an 8th grade program where the boys are homeschooled at the facility all year to prep for high school. Not recommending that route as they do have regular non-intense training sessions both group and individual. If your kid develops enough, they could invite I’m to play on their 8th grade team for next Spring. [/quote]
