AAU BOYS AND GIRLS BASKETBALL INTRODUCES DIVISION lll LEVEL COMPETITION IN 2009

The goal of AAU is "sports for all, forever". It is a huge undertaking that has realized tremendous success over the past decade. AAU has 35 sports and over 600,000 members. The quality, as well as the high level of competition of AAU events, has consistently been outstanding on both a national and local level. AAU is considered to be a highly reputable, honest and responsive organization in the world of youth sports. Because of that stellar reputation, AAU has attracted the most talented athletes, sometimes at the expense of the still developing or the mid-level athletes. In keeping with their mission statement, AAU Basketball is extending their level of competition to Division lll. This is an effort to provide the outstanding experience of AAU participation to a wider audience. There now will be both District and National Championships for three levels of competition, Division l, ll and lll. All three levels will be afforded the same outstanding service,competition and experience that were previously only available to the elite athletes.

In terms of eligibility for Division lll, all roster and individual athlete eligibility rules for DIII will be the same as for DI or DII. If you qualify for DI Nationals or 1st through 4th place in DII, you are not eligible to play at DIII District Championships or Nationals.

The Division lll tournaments have proven to be very successful in the cities throughout the country where this concept has been tested. We look forward to experiencing the same success here in New York.

All NY Metropolitan tournament dates can be found at www.islandgarden.com. You can also register for those events on the same site. Coaches are also encouraged to call Jim Fox directly at 516-292-4956 or 516-351-6642 (cell) if you require any assistance with registering with AAU or have any questions about the tournaments. In all, we will assist you through each step of the process beginning with information about AAU, the tournaments that are offered throughout the New York Metropolitan area and finally, we will even register your club and players with AAU, if that is what you prefer.

Boys Basketball District Championships Begin..

NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AAU BOYS BASKETBALL DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON BEGINS APRIL 3.

It is time to begin the registering for the 2009 AAU basketball season.
2008 was our most successful season ever and it will be tough to top! This year, AAU will be offering more than ever before. We will continue to have our top level Division l tournaments as well as our ever increasingly competitive Division ll events, all of which lead to bids in AAU National Championships that are held in the summer. Last year, New York Metropolitan sent over 50 teams to the Nationals and did extremely well. AAU has certified their 15, 16 and 17U Division l and ll Nationals Championships with the NCAA thereby allowing Division l, ll and lll college coaches to attend and evaluate the participants. In these times of constantly decreasing opportunities for athletes to play in front of top college recruiters, the AAU Nationals provide what may be considered one of the best opportunities of the entire summer for players to be seen by the college coaches from all levels and from throughout the entire country. The only way that an AAU team can qualify for the National Championship Tournaments is by participating in the District Championships.

This year AAU will be introducing an exciting new program that is designed to attract the community based programs and other teams that are not at a top competitive level but who still want to be part of AAU. The Division lll will now have its own District and National Championships for age groups 10 through 15 for both boys and girls. All are eligible to compete in these tournaments so long as the team has not qualified for a spot in either the Division l or ll Nationals. The District Qualifier for be held at Island Garden on Memorial Day weekend. The goal of the AAU is to attract athletes of all ages and ability levels so long as they are motivated to compete and be successful. By introducing Level lll, we hope to attract a large number of new athletes to our already highly successful organization that is dedicated to serving the youth of our communities.

All tournament dates can be found at www.islandgarden.com. You can also register for those events on the same site. Coaches are also encouraged to call Jim Fox directly at 516-292-4956 or 516-351-6642 (cell) if you require any assistance with registering with AAU or have any questions about the tournaments. In all, we will assist you through all steps of the process beginning with information about AAU, the tournaments that are offered throughout the New York Metropolitan area and finally, we will even register your club and players with AAU if that is what you prefer.
