AAU overstepping bounds.

[popeyethesailor]

I was just surfing coacht when I came across this post on the aau boards. It's basketball season, is it not? Which means aau should be doing whatever baseball players do during basketball season, not asking school players to attend what sounds like mandatory tryouts for danged summer ball. I sure hope kids tell their coaches at school about this before they attend these "tryouts".

 

Open gym tryouts are scheduled for Nov 17.

 

8u,9u & 10u from 2 pm -4 pm

11u,12u & 13u from 4 pm-6 pm

 

The next open gym is Dec 1.

 

Players interested in playing for Tn Team Pride in 2008 should attend all workouts.

 

Open gym will be held at: Hooptown Basketball Academy

6910 Stroop Lane

Murfreesboro, Tn 37129

If you notice the ages it lists, this is not for high school students. This is elementary & middle school aged kids. I'm not sure what problem you have w/8-13 year olds who are not in high school playing on a weekend. Even with the middle school kids, they tell them if it's a problem with their middle school coach then not to come. They have tryouts after the season is over.

If your middle school belongs to the Jr. Division of the TSSAA, it is the same as HS. You are not allowed to to plau AAU or rec ball while playing the same TSSAA sponsored sport at the same time. Not as many middle schools belong to the Jr. Division , but Coaches need to be sure.

This disucssion needs to take place on the AAU board.
