FINDING A CLUB OR TEAM FOR YOUR ATHLETE
AAU does not have any club -
they only have club members. We are
unable to give out confidential information on our club
members such as emails or contact
information, therefore, we are unable to assist you in
locating a club or team with confidential contact
information. But we can suggest the following.
Check your local papers for clubs advertising tryouts.
Ask your athlete to ask their class mates who they
participate with in AAU events. Also you can go to the
national web site,
www.aausports.org. They have instituted a program
"My child wants to play AAU Sports" by which you can
register your child and you can list your information on
a site where coaches can access your contact information
if they are looking for athletes to participate in
their program. Independent clubs join AAU in order to
participate in AAU sanctioned events and to adequately
insure their athletes, coaches and practice facilities.
Each club sets its own policies
regarding tryout, practice, fees,
goals, etc. Some clubs host open
tryouts, others are local teams that are hand picked by
their local recreation groups, and some may not choose
to have tryouts at all. AAU does not govern these clubs
except when they are participating in AAU sanctioned
events. Therefore, when looking for a club you
should ask questions
that would allow you to
select a club that meets your own needs and expectations.
Thank you for your interest in participating in AAU
events and a I hope that you will find a club that will
meet your needs and expectations in helping further your
athletes athletic career.
