How much does it cost to buy a child a spot on an AAU team?

I would like to think that all spots are earned, but it cost $275 per player. We will also give the parents an opportunity to fundraise individually for their child to cover the $275 cost.

AAU teams are now a dime a dozen. If you can afford $275 you can find a team for your kid.

That's a small price to pay, to allow a youngster to be apart of team and pursue there dreams of becoming a better player . And if you cant afford it there is always church type leagues or other options to keep playing to try and better your skills.

AAU?

Anyone who knows AAU basketball knows that it should be called AA Me!

How is age determined? What is cut-off date?

It goes off of grade/age. We will have teams for the following age groups

10u - Boys and Girls
11u - Boys and Girls
12u - Boys and Girls
13u - Boys and Girls
14u - Boys and Girls
15u - Boys and Girls
16u - Boys
17u - Boys

But when do the ages cut off. My son turns 12 on 9/7 and is currently in 5th grade. Would he be an 11 or 12?

How many college coaches will be watching my ten year old if he earns a spot on the team?
