High School Team Registration
The following is a sample of most questions that people new to the program have: Hopefully we hit on most of them, but if you can think of others feel free to reach out to us. Remember, AAU basketball is 'organized chaos' and although sometimes things pop up that are out of our control, we always will figure out a way to get our mission accomplished. Welcome to the Family!
Ages
What aged players are appropriate for this program?
This registration is for our high school players 15u-17u
When
What time of the year does this program run?
Our season will begin as soon as the high school basketball season is over and the state tournament is final. We normally play in our first tournament the third weekend of March and between then and June play in 4 tournaments. We do NOT play or practice in June because the players go back to their high schools to play. However, we do resume in July and will play in another 4 events.
Where are the games usually held?
I will attach last years schedule so that people can get an idea of what to expect:

Practices
When are practices and how often are they?
Practice times and locations are TBD once the high school season is near completion. Unfortunately, we are not afforded the luxury of practicing a ton because the high school season in New Mexico ends two/three weeks after most states. So once we finish here, the AAU season is already three weeks ahead. We will also practice out of town when we have the majority of the team together.
Games
How many games will they play? What days of the week?
Most tournaments will be using a showcase format meaning that we will be playing 4 games a weekend. Some weekends will be regular tournament scheduling and we can play anywhere from 4-7 games. These events usually take place in July.
Jerseys + Gear
Are jerseys provided or are they purchased separately?
Each player will receive two sets of jerseys, a pair of circuit shoes, a travel bag, a shooting shirt, and socks.
Extra Costs
What costs beyond registration fees should be expected?
Just to reiterate, this registration of $4000 will cover both sets of jerseys, shoes, bag, shooting shirt, socks, two flights, and all hotel stays, rental vans, gas, etc...
The only cost unaccounted for is probably meals for your child. I would say on average these guys spend about $50-$70 per weekend. (But, you know your child more than me, and some eat like a monster)
