How much does playing on the Just Us AAU Basketball team cost?

To run a successful AAU Basketball Program, we rely on fundraising. Parents have the option to either fundraise their tuition before our season or opt-out and pay the tuition fee. The money raised through fundraising is used to fund the team’s training program, pay for practice facilities, cover tournament fees, and contribute to the general reserve.

There is a one-time uniform fee of $35-150 - Depending on which package we choose for the team. (Uniform package pricing may change)

Just Us Basketball year is broken up into 4 seasons in 2024:

Spring (February through April)

Summer (May through July)

Fall (August through October)

Winter (November through January)

Young athletes must commit to an entire season when registering

*Uniforms can be worn until they are outgrown then a new one will need to be purchased
** Tournaments in the winter season charge an entrance fee that may not be covered.

Why choose Just Us Basketball?

We ardently champion local athletes on their journey as student-athletes. Our program is tailored to be accessible, offering affordability alongside exposure to diverse coaching methodologies.

Do I need a uniform?

Just Us Basketball Uniform Package: Reversible Jersey and Shorts.

* New players have a one-time $50-$80 uniform fee. Uniforms can be worn from season to season.

Uniforms are subject to change colors/designs.

Uniform package prices may change depending on the manufacturing cost.

Why do I have to send a picture when I register?

This is to help us identify the kids so we can remember each player better when we make the teams following the tryout.  Please try to send a clear picture or upload a photo to AAU Profile.

What if I don’t make an AAU team?

We have limited spots (and gym time) for our teams.  We try to make our teams as competitive as possible while finding players that fit together.  It’s not always about being the best; we seek good attitudes, hard work, and enthusiastic young ballers.

Sometimes, kids aren’t ready to play at a competitive club level and need some work on the fundamentals. We encourage those not chosen for a team to continue with our group classes, camps, or Developmental League.

Will the teams travel?

Our team has decided to prioritize playing locally to improve our skills. The main benefit of playing in youth basketball tournaments is the exposure to other coaches and scouts. While traveling can be enjoyable, it is not our main focus. However, if there is a desire to participate in an away tournament in the future, Just Us Basketball has offered to assist with fundraising to help with some of the associated costs.

Want to join Just Us Basketball AAU Basketball, but used to play at another club. What do I need to do to attach my current AAU Membership to a new club?

If that player has played in an AAU-sanctioned event within the past 60 days, you will need to obtain a release form from that player’s prior club before s/he will be eligible to compete within another club. You may obtain a player release form from your district’s registrar or contact AAU at 407.934.7200.

What are your pick-up and drop-off policies for camps?

Gyms will be open 20 minutes before the start of camp. We ask that you pick up your child promptly when the camp ends in the gymnasium. We encourage you to show up just before the end of the day to watch your child in action.

All children must be signed in and out of the camp every day.

CAMPS

What is the ratio of players to coaches?

Camps run with approximately 10 campers to 1 coach.

Is Lunch Provided at Just Us Basketball Camp?

Lunch will be from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. daily.

How do I register, and what methods of payment do you accept?

We accept:

• Credit Card (via online registration)

• All registration must take place through our website

Please, no cash. Also, please do not write checks to individual coaches. Thank you.

Can I sign up for the day of camp?

If the camp is not sold out, which is unlikely, we highly recommend that you register before the camp begins to hold your spot.

What’s the difference between camps and classes?

Camps occur over multiple full days, with drop-off in the morning and pick-up in the afternoon. These occur when school is on vacation: Summer, Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks.

Classes take place daily and are 80 minutes in length. They run over a season, which is typically 8 weeks in length. Most students come to 1-2 classes per week for a given season.

The camp format means a broad range of skills and techniques can be introduced and taught in detail. The goal is to teach many skills that the students can work on at home to improve and incorporate into games to make basketball learning a fun experience.

On the other hand, a class teaches a specific set of skills with the intention of mastery. Classes are a bit more focused and intense, leading to rapid improvement and confidence-building in a mistake-friendly environment.

We encourage families to do camps and classes as they work together to give kids the ultimate learning and improvement experience.

What is the MVP discount?

We promote and reward loyalty with our MVP discount. Here’s how it works: our current students are always allowed to register for the next season’s classes one week before the general public—and they get a discount on future classes.

That’s right, your spot is guaranteed, and we give you a discount for doing it.

What is your makeup policy for group classes?

Our classes may sell out. Because of this, we regret that we’re unable to offer makeup classes—we simply don’t have the space. We adhere to a strict coach-to-player ratio and can’t change this ratio to accommodate extra students in the class. Thank you for your understanding.

Are you worried your child won’t be able to make all the classes? We recommend that you take a look at our schedule and yours before you register to make sure you are available to attend the classes consistently.
