What Is AAU Basketball ?
Competitive youth basketball, different programs sign up to attend organized tournaments throughout the year and nationally.
Our goals..
Win every tournament we play in, get invited to top national tournaments, get sponsored by major brand. Help players obtain a free higher education and/or start a professional career , if that's what they want and show drive for!
Before that is possible the player's will have to under their role on the team and perform at they highest when their number is called. Players have to be involved and focus on the goal each game and understanding what the right play is and executing at a high rate with consistent effort. We'll look to building our defense early in the season and move to secondary offensive plays.

D1 is the top division in which we have our teams involved in, D2 is getting ready for D1 but not able to stop player's scoring or able to score on competition. Our D2 teams will only play tournament in Bay Area (Santa Clara/Hayward).

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. All grade player's will have to make the 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 unavailable.
Teams may have the same practice times and days, if we have more than 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.
