BOYS AAU TRYOUTS (Gr. 3 - HS)
Welcome to Peak Knights AAU Program Tryouts! We are very excited about the upcoming Spring season.
We are offering multiple tryout dates, and players are only required to attend (1) tryout. All players who try out for AAU teams will also be evaluated for the Peak League, so there is no need to register for a separate Peak League evaluation. The cost for a Tryout is $35.
In general, we anticipate forming up to (2) teams at most grade levels. AAU teams begin at Grade 5 for Girls and Grade 3 for Boys.
With the exception of High School players, families will receive placement notifications no later than March 4th. In some cases, we may contact families earlier if additional evaluation is needed or if a placement decision can be made sooner. If an additional tryout is requested it will be at no cost to you.
Please know that we always have the best interest of your child in mind as we work to ensure proper placement. Our goal is to build competitive, well-balanced teams made up of players with similar skill levels. Evaluations consider individual skill, team skills, basketball IQ, effort, and position.

Please note that no player is guaranteed a roster spot, including those who have participated in Peak programs in previous seasons. The following are the possible outcomes for your child:
Invited to an AAU team
Our AAU teams practice a minimum of two times per week for 90 minutes per practice and tournaments are on weekends. Your invitation will include details such as specific practice days and times, tentative tournament dates, coach, costs and other important information. Tournament dates and game times are not known until typically a few days before a tournament weekend. Players are required to be at all practices and tournaments. Each tournament has additional admission fees, even ones located at Peak.
Invited to The Peak League
(if available at age group)
The Peak League is new and is designed to combine the best individual components of our Rising Stars program with more formal team play and meaningful game minutes of AAU. All games and practices will be played at Peak. The Peak League is devoted to the development of players that have potential to do well in AAU, AAU level players who cannot commit to AAU given other seasonal activities (baseball/softball, etc.).
The cost is $695. Practices and game days and times are predefined and consistent (available on our website). Teams in the league play other teams in the league - they are all Peak teams.
Invited to Rising Stars or other training
(Pending Availability)
Our Rising Stars and skills and scrimmages programs are focused on building strong fundamentals and building the love of the game!
In all scenarios, Spring season kicks off on March 14th and ends in the early to mid June timeframe. We expect all members of our Peak community to uphold Peak's core values including safety, respect, teamwork, sportsmanship, community and integrity. By joining Peak in any capacity you agree to abide and adhere to these values and our Code of Conduct.
