2019 AAU Teams - Info Sheet
Based on the commitment to growth and excellence we’ve seen at this age group, we are offering a postseason opportunity for both a U15 and U16 team to continue their training through June 2019, culminating with both teams competing at AAU Nationals in Orlando, FL. Training will include high level, position-specific training (1x/week), team training (2x/week) and UDF fitness sessions (2x/week) with NEVBC’s Lead Coaches. Team training sessions will begin on May 9.
Tryouts will be open to NEVBC athletes, as well as athletes from other clubs who have completed their seasons. There will be 9 athletes on each roster to maximize playing time in Orlando, with 3 practice players for 6 vs. 6 opportunities in training.

Housing/Meals
-
Hotel/Housing: Per NEVBC travel policies, hotels will not be arranged by the club, and parents and athletes may elect to stay on their own or as a group. We have had good experiences with Airbnb/VRBO houses for the athletes (with multiple parent chaperones), which is often more cost-effective than individual hotel rooms.
-
Meals: Team meals are recommended but not mandatory or club-organized. If families elect to do a VRBO/Airbnb, we’d recommend buying groceries for breakfast/cooking dinners.
