When playing AAU it is important to understand the amount of time, travel, and money associated with a program. Once a family has the information and has had time to analyze and discuss how much of an impact playing AAU basketball will have, a family decide if AAU is the best fit for a child and a family.
Below are some of the costs associated with AAU. We will be updating this throughout the fall. Click here to view the entire AAU Year
Tryouts ($25): This is probably the best bang for a player’s buck. $25 to get two to three hours of court time for $25, in August, when it is a down time for hoops is a bargain. It is a good idea to watch some of all of the tryouts to get a sense of the coaching style, talent level of players, and where your child might fit in.
Program Fee ($741.60): Other than elite AAU travel expenses, the program fee is the greatest expense. This fee will cover gym rentals, tournament entrance fees, and coaching salaries.
Uniform Fee ($122.99): This is a fee that covers the costs of the game uniforms. The fee will vary based on the quality of the uniform, as well as the margin of profit on each uniform. Some teams will require a new uniform for each season or at least year.
