AAU Tryouts schedule for the 2022 season

Updated 8/24 The AAU tryout season is about to get underway as clubs begin building their rosters for the 2022 season. The recruiting of top prospects is already hot and heavy as the big clubs jockey to recruit better players and those better players shop their services. One way to get into the mix is through open opportunities to audition. Whether they’re called tryouts, evaluations, open gyms, workouts or whatever else, these are a great way to show what you’ve got while getting to know what the clubs have to offer. Age groups are listed by graduation year, so incoming freshmen are 2025s, 8th graders are 2026s and so on. We include tryouts for the years 2023 to 2026 because that’s what we will cover, evaluate and rank next summer. Younger grades are included if they are part of the same tryout sessions. The clubs are listed in alphabetical order. Refer to their websites for more detail. Note to clubs: If your information needs updating or isn’t included here please email gmachoops@gmail.com and we’ll make the necessary changes. We’ll update this list as the tryout season progresses. This is what we have as of Wednesday, July 28. 43 HOOPS Tryouts and open gyms at 43 Hoops Basketball Academy in Hopkins. Tryouts
