Maybe......
Drop sub-state(these seem like just like any other wkend tournament).
Allow any and all AAU teams to go to State Tournament. Have 1 for D1 and 1 for D2. Make the Tournament a big event that the girls and teams could feel good about, especially if Nationals is not in the cards. Could model like Nationals, opening ceremony, swap pins, guarantee #of games etc.
This might get smaller groups that can't travel to Florida or Minnesota, to join AAU.
Maybe.....
Have team and individual camps for AAU members only. I think they're alot of quality AAU coaches in the state that would love to help do a camp in their area.
These could be done on weekends during offseason (if there is an offseason!)LOL
