What is AAU basketball?
Amateur Athletic Union basketball is a very competitive tournament-style program for girls, ages 8 through 17, who have the potential and desire for advanced basketball skills. Girls who play AAU are committed to basketball first before other sports and activities.

When does AAU season begin and how long does it last?
The season begins in late March and runs through June. Teams that qualify for national tournaments play through July. We also enter teams in college showcase tournaments during the summer and fall. This allows girls to play winter (regular season) basketball with their high schools, neighborhood club or CYO. Practices are usually twice a week.

When and where do the tournaments take place?
The tournaments are on weekends and are usually within 2 hours travel time. We've been to tournaments in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, Delaware, New Jersey and Staten Island, NY. Plus, our own Jamfest is held in NE Philadelphia and attract teams from NJ, NY, DE, MD and VA.

When are Registration and Tryouts? What is the fee?
Registration begins January 1. The player fee is $325 (if postmarked by January 31st, after that player fee is $375). Tryouts begin in February and the player fee must be paid prior to a girl trying out. Anyone not successful in making a team will have the player fee refunded minus $35 in administrative costs. Once a player is assigned to a team, no refunds will be given unless there is a medical reason documented by a doctor.

What does the Rockers player fee cover? Are there any additional fees?
The fee covers AAU membership and insurance, gym rentals, and 5 tournaments. Additional tournaments beyond the original six covered by the player fee incur a charge of approximately $40-50 per player per tournament. Players on national competition teams have additional fees. The uniform fee is $100.00 for new players and any returning player in need of a new uniform.

Who are the Rocker coaches?
Our coaches are experienced, dedicated and accomplished individuals who volunteer their time to the Northeast Rocker AAU. They include former college coaches and players, high school coaches, and other qualified individuals.
