Good luck to all newcomers to AAU if you're above grade 6.  [/quote]

Is it difficult to start at this higher level after elementary?

My son only started playing basketball last year at age 11. He plays/played multiple other sports.[/quote] Many people don’t realize that basketball is a skill sport. If your son is very, very athletic and works really hard (90 minutes plus every day, 7 days a week for a couple of years), then he might be able to play at a high level.  Many kids practice that much for longer but don’t make higher level teams. [/quote]

My kid isn’t necessarily trying to play at some high elite level. He will never be a D1 recruit. He just loves basketball and if he gets on his high school basketball team, he would be happy. I believe all the kids on the high school basketball team all play travel and/or AAU basketball.[/quote]
It really depends on the high school.  Last I looked, 5 DMV high schools were in the national top 25.  Making varsity at those schools pretty much required elite skills, and the starters will be D1 commits.  [/quote]
