I would love to be able to rank these teams, but I haven't seen them play. This type of thing gets no publicity. I'm actually surprised there isn't more AAU info on this site.

 

How can I find out when and where these teams play. I know they play out of town a lot, but I would think they would have to play a fair amount in town too. I go to as many games as I can during the season, and then lose all contact during the summer. Any help with how I can find out more information on AAU - especially the Travelers - is appreciated.

 

On a side note, I was surprised to see that the Travelers didn't play at the Southern Invitational this weekend. I did see that the 15's played but none of the other teams. Does the same coach each age level?

 

Thanks for all your help.

The Travelers 15's played in the Southern Invitational this past weekend, but failed to make it out of Pool play, losing to the Richmond Squires (a top 4 or 6 team out of VA)......

 

I think the 16's and 17's Travelers played out in St. Louis this past weekend at the Eagles' tourney (Eagles went to the Travs tourney, so this is like returning the favor).....

 

Charlie Benson coaches the 17's Travelers, a guy named Ian coaches the 16's and a guy named Andy coaches the 15's......

As far as the Rankings go........

 

15's are wide open...much more so than the other age groups.....In this age group, a team like Tn Thunder or Midstate Ballerz, etc may be better than the Travelers or YOMCA (Memphis is spread out in this age group), yet it is so balanced, a team like the Ballerz, Columbia Bullets, Team Tennessee, Raleigh-Egypt, etc don't even make the State Tourney.....there is a lot of talent, and yet a lot of parity in this group......

Gomab, if these are supposively the AAU/Summer team rankings why are the Chattanooga Steam not on the list for the 17 year olds? I don't know if they've played any AAU games yet, but they destroyed the TN Thunder in YBOA play. They could probably take the Breakers with guys like Jake Skogen, Ben Britt, Josh Suddath, Ryan Wadley, and the Ellison twins.

pharoah.. I play for the 17 yr. old Chattanooga Steam team and we weren't even close to as good last year as we are this year. We have six new players. Two of them played for the travelers last year. We have picked up another guy that can jump out of the gym. Those three mixed with Chattanooga Times Free Press player of the year Jake Skogen and his state championship teammate and a solid bench as made us a very competitive team. We are doing very well this year. I don't know what would happen if we played this year but don't go talking about last year. Hopefully we will play ya'll and will see just how good each other is.

I watched the Chattanooga Steam play in the YBOA tournament at Knox. Catholic and they are a good team with the additions from the Travelers but i still don't think they can take the Breakers! The Steam have no bench what so ever!The Breakers go about 9 deep and they all can play.

      several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
