[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just bumping this up. Does anyone know of any other northern va leagues besides the Stars league and the St James league?

The Stars league is basically defunct. They are only having 6 games for basically the same cost as 10 games last year, so that's obviously out. Our organization only runs winter and summer teams so we are not looking for elite competition!

It might have more participation with 6 games only.  [/quote]

They might get more AAU teams if they 4 lost games are at the beginning. By the end of the season, the girls on DD's team need a break [/quote]

What do you mean by the end of the season? Its a summer league. The season is the summer. [/quote]

AAU goes through July. By the end, the kids are burnt out. If the games that get cut are at the beginning of the season, it might encourage more participation form AAU teams [/quote]

The summer leagues all start in June and end at the end of July. August is kind of a dead zone.

Its unfortunate that every sport has become a year-round cash grab and parents have so much FOMO for their kids.  There are no defined seasons. Kids used to just play winter and summer basketball. Now its year round. Its terrible to never give their bodies a break from the same activity.[/quote]

The AAU season ends with nationals in early July. It's been that way for a long time now. August through Winter is the offseason [/quote]

In American culture, basketball is a winter sport and always has been. High school plays in winter. College plays in winter. NBA plays in winter. 
Just because parents have been sucked into the shady cash-grab world of AAU drama, doesn't mean the "AAU season" means anything. It seems to be "AAU season" year-round, from what I can tell.

College plays in fall, NBA gets serious in spring and finishes in the summer and AAU's main season is spring/summer. There are year round tournaments, but most teams either form in the spring or ramp up for spring/summer if they are year round. [/quote]
