AAU Coach Translation Guide: “WE OUT” = Push the basketball in transition “WORK OUT” = Everyone move and watch the ballhandler play 1 on 1 “LOCK UP” = You didn’t fall for his 1st move “HE DON’T WANT IT” = Increase your ball pressure “KNOCKDOWN” = Make the 3 pt shot

If you’re a sophomore or younger deciding where to play AAU, your 1st priority should be getting better. Not names that sound good, circuits, gear, who your friends play with, travel, or exposure. Find the right mix of playing time, competition level, & quality coaching.
