Structure:
This year our AAU seasons will be outdoor practices unlike seasons in the past, Accelerate hoops will have up to 15 players or less. If we need two teams for the same age group tryouts will decided the split between D1 and D2. Teams will not change rosters, unless Coach Martin ask! Cuts will be made to players who are not ready for the challenge of an AAU season. 5th grade players and below will not be cut, we'll have "the talk" if needed. I would recommend all players do some drop-in training with throughout the year, to be sure to give yourself the best chance to play the most minutes possible for yourself! Not all players will play every game as coach will decide on playing time and who has earned it! If cut please practice and do not give up, we at Accelerate Hoops won't give up either we will work on you and your game until your ready in a few short weeks or months! Cause you never know how great you can be, but it's not easy! All returning players will always have a home with us! For player's looking to join our clubs AAU team will tryout for a position on our respective team roster, unless the spot is available.
Teams may have the same practice times and day, if we have more 4 teams in a season. Players will still stay with their teams during practice and work on plays and challenges together, getting to know one another and who does what!
