AAU coaches, teams, players - please note there was a major change in the boys' age level designations for eligibility in 2011.The designations are by age this year and the grade exceptions have been deleted. There are additional requirements for players younger than the average grade level student. These requirements may take time to process, so we are bringing this to your attention now to allow you this time. For BOYS, please click here to link to the National AAU rules on this subject. The entire rules handbook can be found by clicking here. Eligibility info can be found here. Specific information on "playing down" a grade level can be found here. For GIRLS please click here for the rule handbook and here for eligibility. You must carry valid report cards for the 2011/12 school year for each player.
