Answer: 2020 ELIGIBILITY RULES FOR AAU BASKETBALL The new rules base player eligibility strictly on age, rather than grade and age. Each AAU division will be labeled 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U. Participants in each age division can be no older than the denoted age on August 31st of that year - in this case 2020.
