The AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) basketball season typically runs year-round, but it is divided into different periods based on age groups and levels of competition. Here is a general breakdown of the AAU basketball season:
1. Spring/Summer Season: This is the main season for AAU basketball. It generally starts in March and runs through July. During this time, many regional and national tournaments take place, including the AAU National Championships.
2. Fall/Winter Season: Some AAU teams also play in the fall and winter, particularly for practice and regional tournaments. The fall season usually begins in October and can last through December.
3. Off-Season (August to February): While the official AAU season slows down after July, many players and teams continue to practice and participate in local tournaments during the off-season months. However, official AAU competitions are less frequent.
The exact dates and schedules can vary depending on the region and the specific AAU club or team.
