It is my opinion a coach should not play a team up due to one players age. Rather, It suggested that the coach find another team for the player that forces your team to play at the next level. There are plenty of other teams available for players to participate with. Once you have determined that you are interested in coaching and you have players interested in playing, you will want to apply for an AAU Club or Team Membership. Team membership as well as coaches memberships and player memberships are needed.
Memberships are effective immediately.
You may want to print out the membership form and take it with you to tryouts or practice and have each kid fill it out and send it back. Now that you are an official AAU team keep checking our site for AAU sanctioned tournaments, leagues or other events.
