2027 Minnesota AAU Tryout Information
Updated July 23
The July live period isn't even over yet and social media has been flooded with posts about tryouts for the 2027 season. This process seems to get earlier every year. Given that most of the players who'll need to attend tryouts to make a squad for next spring have already finished their season, we thought it was time to get the information out there. Let the grind begin.
We've made every effort to compile the details on club tryouts that have been posted online but there will be more information in the days to come as plans are finalized. Over the next month or so we'll update this free primer on an ongoing basis as needed. A few items to note:
- Tryouts are listed by graduation year wherever possible. For example, incoming 9th graders this fall are 2030s, 8th graders are 2031s and so on.
- Clubs are listed in alphabetical order.
- We provide basic information on dates, times and locations. Refer to the club's website for more details on how to register, required fees, and so on.
- Note to AAU clubs: If your organization is not included here, or your information needs updating, please email gmachoops@gmail.com and we will make the updates as soon as possible.
