Jim Fox, the Governor and Boys Basketball Chair of New
York Metropolitan AAU, has released the dates and locations
for the 2013 District Championships.
There are several new policies that will be implemented
this year to enhance the AAU experience throughout
the country.
Most significantly, all non-athletes (i,e, coaches
and administrators, must register well in advance so
that a background screening process can be completed.
AAU membership for all adults cannot be completed unless
the background screen is cleared.
Also, this year all rosters must be completed using
the AAU Boys Basketball online system. Coaches must
register their team on www.aauboysbasketball.org after
obtaining the individual membership of each player
and coach.
We will also require photo identification of each
player in order to verify the identity of each player.
