What all is required to start a aau team ?

[twaugie]

If you mean an AAU team as in one that is planning on playing in State, SuperRegionals, and National AAU tournaments you have to purchase a team membership in AAU. The girls deadline has already passed for this year. Go to the AAU girls basketball website (www.aaugirlsbasketball.org). It has alot of information on it for you. You can also find a link to the state AAU website there also.

 

If you are just wanting to start a girls team to play in local tournaments basically what you need are some girls, equipment, uniforms, and a gym to practice in. Then enter into some local tournaments. There are alot of good ones. You may find some advertised on this website. You can find some advertised in the Tennessean in the sports section under Roll Call (which is either in the Wed or Thurs editions). Also do a search on Middle Tennessee Basketball Showcase and you can find some good local tournaments that are run by a guy named Kris Hooper. My daughter has played in them and they are first rate.

 

Hope this helps.
