Transforming AAU: How to Create a Better Experience for Athletes


Listen Later

Beyond the Scoreboard is committed to creating an audio experience to help you develop into the best leader you can be, so you can transform your athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.

AAU basketball has become a dominant force in youth sports, but is it serving athletes in the best possible way?

This week on Beyond the Scoreboard, I share my experiences as a club basketball director and offer my vision for how we can improve the AAU landscape. I discuss:

  • Coach Standardization: The need for consistent training and qualifications for coaches to ensure a positive and developmental experience.
  • Tournament Rules: Addressing the issues of excessive travel, game volume, and player burnout.
  • Accessibility: Strategies to make AAU basketball more affordable and accessible to athletes from all backgrounds.


Join me as I explore the challenges and opportunities in AAU basketball and offer actionable solutions for creating a better experience for young athletes.
