Updated! AAU tryouts information
updated 9/1 at noon
The end of the 2020 AAU season came Sunday afternoon. Within a couple of hours the recruiting for 2021 had begun and the telephones of top prospects were already ringing. That’s how the best players generally move from one team to another. For the bulk of the players, however, open workouts and tryouts are crucial and those begin this weekend.
What we offer here is an overview. We provide the basic information of who, what and where. For the specific details you’ll need to visit the individual club websites so we have included the URL with a link. This year, of course, everything will be a little bit different due to COVID-19, and there are restrictions on numbers of participants as well as much stricter requirements for advanced registration in most cases. Please pay attention to these details to avoid disappointment!
Every year people get confused about the grade levels involved. That’s why we list the events by graduation year. (If grade levels are provided on club websites they always refer to the grade the player is entering this fall.) We have provided information on tryouts for the 2022-25 classes only because those are the grades we will cover next summer. Lower grade level tryouts can be found on club websites.
If your club’s information is not included here, or you see an error, please e-mail it to me (gmachoops@gmail.com) so we can make the appropriate edits. We will update this page frequently.
