why aau?

AAU basketball is the testing ground for all US high school players. Numerous AAU tournaments run during the college offseason within a condensed time period, making them a key recruiting tool for all college scouts. At any given tournament there could be anywhere from 100 to 1,500 college coaches scouting for players. This is what makes the tournaments so valuable.

Playing AAU is the most ideal way for an Aussie player to get exposure to college basketball scouts. For a coach, Aussies player AAU is a perfect way to evaluate a foreign player in an environment that the coach understands. There is nothing like seeing a player perform live on the court when evaluating their talent.

Finally, if you aren’t sure if college is for you, AAU is a phenomenal way to experience lots of games against American competition for your own experience and development.

Nothing here is easy, everyone is hustling, and inevitably each player will deal with adversity at some point and must learn to grow from it.

Watch this documentary trailer to get a glimpse into what AAU is about.
