Really would like @OSSAAOnline to consider charging $5 for students K-12 with maybe school ID if needed. Let’s keep these students apart of the State Tournaments journey & make memories for them as well. I know this doesn’t apply to all but it would help many.

To the coaches that are ready to start their HS “AAU” practices / tryouts. Be mindful that these HS players that still have a season to play for need to focus on that. Trust me you will have plenty of time to prepare & compete.

As I see several AAU /travel teams having tryouts already, please be cognizant about HS teams starting playoffs or already have. Every HS coach values their players staying healthy for a playoff run. Let’s ALL work together for these kids to be successful for HS & AAU.

Back in the saddle coaching AAU and it’s been over 20yrs since. Not sure what’s going on, but coaches before you sync that wireless speaker to play unedited music, be sure to sync with ur players proper footwork for layups or even left hand passes🤷🏽♂️ #Imoldschool.
