General Information
Tryouts
The PRIDE holds tryouts once a year, typically in late February or early March. Coaches evaluate players' skills, effort, behavior, and attitude during tryouts. They are the most important factors that coaches consider when making their selections for the team.
Players already on teams must try out each time. There are NO guarantees that a player on a team would make the team at the next season’s tryouts.
Age Determination Date
The current (as of September, 2010) age determination dates (ADDs) are different for boys and girls basketball.
For girls please click here to see where you fall.
For boys please click here to see where you fall.
Membership
By joining the AAU through Pride Basketball, individual players and teams are provided with insurance coverage for practices and games and are eligible to play in the PVAAU Spring Regional tournament, usually in April/May, which qualifies teams for the AAU National Championship tournaments in June/July.
Cost
We have established standard budgets for each season, and we encourage each team to use these budgets and the events and activities associated with the budget plans. Each player-family will be required to make the financial commitment to support the team’s plans including fundraising events to help offset individual costs. Costs will consist of: Club dues, AAU membership, uniforms, gym time, tournaments &/or leagues, coaching expenses--including travel reimbursements, supplies such as first aid items and training equipment.
Cost per team varies depending on the number of tournaments it participates in. Because each team's over all cost per season is different, a break down of the season's projected cost will be covered during the final night of tryouts.
Team Management
Our teams run successfully when coaches and parents communicate, and share the administrative responsibilities of the team.
