At my son game..…NO reason an AAU tournament should be charging ONLY day passes for $25, knowing teams play both days. A family of 3 is being charged 150$ to watch them play. It should be mandatory to offer a weekend pass. Like are we trying to encourage AAU, b/c that’s not.
Watching grassroot basketball for the last month and one thing sticks out to me. Every time somebody makes a three they go into their own celebration. I’ve only seen one guy who points at whoever passed him the ball.
This game is about “us” not about “me “

Keep in mind the best players at 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, & 9th grades are usually better because they are bigger, stronger, and faster at that age. Or just been playing longer. Not really better basketball players.Most kids become good basketball players after 9th grade. It evens out
