Message: [QUOTE="cp176, post: 4978057, member: 13278"] This is an interesting post. My background in bb is extensive. I'm stubborn but having watched some very good AAU teams play over the years, my experience has told me that many AAU coaches absolutely love getting kids to sign up who have actually been taught how to play in their local school programs under the leadership of coaches who have been trained in the fundamentals of the game and in what it takes to grow a winning program. Obviously I see the value in kids playing more but it comes with a cost not only in big dollars. When our kids went out to play on any travel or AAU team, we made it very clear what our expectations were for them. We took the responsibility for teaching them how to play very seriously. There will be always something special about playing for the school whose district you grew up in. [/QUOTE]
