AAU Program

Welcome to our Lakes Basketball AAU program. 

For those of new to our program, we place strong emphasis on the following:
 

• Quality coaches are a necessity for every team.  While many programs will build teams and then find a coach, we make sure to have the right coach in place before building the team.  For this reason, the number of programs we run may vary from year to year.

 

• Team play rules the day.  Five players on the court, all need to play together to succeed.  There is no place on our teams for selfish play.  We also expect all of our athletes to give their best, whether in workouts, practice, or games.

​

• A flexible, compact season is necessary for our athletes.  AAU play comes during the regular basketball off-season, we need to be cognizant of other activities and sports.

​

• Winning takes care of itself.  Success is not measured by wins and losses: skill growth, maturation on and off the court, team growth, increased confidence... these are the true measures of success.

​

• Focusing on specific skills and working on those skills leads to better play.  Skill work is so important to us that we have included off-season training for our teams.
