FAQS

🏀 Program Overview

How much does it cost to play AAU with Just Us Basketball?

Our program operates on a combination of tuition and fundraising. Families may choose to fundraise or opt out and pay tuition directly.

Fees cover:

  • Gym rentals & training

  • Tournament entry fees

  • Coaching & operations

  • Program development

There is also a one-time uniform fee ($50–$150 depending on package). Uniforms can be reused across seasons until outgrown.

What does the AAU season look like?

We operate year-round with four structured seasons:

  • Spring: Feb – April

  • Summer: May – July

  • Fall: Aug – Oct

  • Winter: Nov – Jan

Players commit to one full season at a time to maintain team consistency and development.

Why choose Just Us Basketball?

We’re more than a team—we’re a development system.

Our focus:

  • Skill development + basketball IQ

  • Team culture, accountability, and growth

  • Affordable access to competitive basketball

  • Exposure to different coaching styles

We build student-athletes, not just players.

👥 Team & Tryouts

What happens after tryouts?

Players are evaluated based on:

  • Skill level

  • Effort and attitude

  • Team fit

Roster spots are limited. Once selected and registered, players are roster-locked for the season.

What if my child doesn’t make a team?

We encourage continued development through:

  • Skills classes

  • Camps

  • Developmental league

Not making a team just means “not yet.”

I played for another AAU team—can I switch?

Yes, but if your athlete competed in an AAU event within the last 60 days, a player release form from the previous club is required.

📅 Practices & Tournaments

How often do teams practice?

Teams practice 1–2 times per week (1–2 hours per session), depending on the season and team level.

Do teams travel?

Our primary focus is local competition and development.

Occasionally, we may offer travel tournaments. When we do:

  • Travel is optional

  • Fundraising support may be available

🎽 Uniforms

Do I need a uniform?

Yes. Players wear a Just Us reversible jersey and shorts.

  • One-time purchase

  • Reusable across seasons

  • Updated designs may vary year to year

📝 Registration & Policies

Why do I need to upload a player photo?

Photos help coaches identify players during evaluations and team selection.

What is your cancellation policy?

AAU is a season-based commitment. Once a player accepts a roster spot, planning begins immediately.

  • $500 early cancellation fee applies if leaving before season completion

  • No refunds once the season begins (first practice or tournament), except where required by California law

  • Fees are non-transferable

This policy reflects real costs like tournaments, gym time, and staffing.
