AAU Leagues
AAU Basketball is another off-season opportunity for basketball players. These clubs are usually run by an entity that pulls players from a surrounding area, so it won’t just be Hastings players on your team.

Most programs hold tryouts in July/August or February/March to form teams for the following spring and summer seasons. If you know of more clubs, please send their link to us and we will add them to our list. Below are links to specific AAU sites:
