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.
