AAU Player Selection & Participation Rules
At Baller Academy, we are committed to providing a high-level and competitive experience for our players through AAU tournaments. To maintain the standard of our program, the following rules apply to all new and current players:
Team Selection
All AAU teams are selected exclusively by the coaching staff.
Selection is based on skill level, attitude, work ethic, and team fit—not on requests or past participation.
Being a part of Baller Academy training does not guarantee selection for AAU tournaments.
2. Commitment
Selected players must commit to all training sessions and tournament dates once confirmed.
Missing scheduled training or games without prior notice may affect your eligibility for future events.
3. Player Conduct
All players are expected to represent Baller Academy with respect, discipline, and good sportsmanship at all times.
Any form of misconduct, on or off the court, may lead to removal from the team or disqualification from future selection.
4. Communication
All communication regarding selection, travel, and logistics will be sent directly to parents/guardians.
Players and families must respond to all AAU-related communication promptly.
5. Fees & Uniforms
Tournament fees must be paid in full by the specified deadline to secure your spot.
All players must wear the official Baller Academy uniform during games and team activities.
6. Playing Time
Playing time is earned, not guaranteed, and is determined at the coach’s discretion based on performance, effort, and team needs.
If you're serious about competing at a high level and being part of a focused, team-first environment, we welcome you to express your interest—and work hard to earn your spot.
