2026 High School Boys Spring Team Evaluations

The 2026 AAU season is almost here, and we will be starting our high school evaluations in the next few weeks on Sundays!

Although final team rosters will not be set until January and February, this is your chance to lock in a spot in our 2026 program.

If a spot is offered and accepted, no down payment will be required until January/February. These evaluations are not designed to collect payments, only to identify and secure talent for the upcoming season.
