The Pacific NW AAU has an active assemblage of Boys and Girls Basketball Tournaments.  The tournaments and leagues have advanced the level of play for the many basketball players that have gone on to play on their high school teams, college teams and professionally.  Almost every holiday weekend there is an AAU basketball tournament held in Western Washington.   Typically, summer is a slower time for tournaments in our area.  But the rest of the year can be quite busy.

Each tournament offers different opportunities for the teams, but all of them offer a great way for the families and friends to get together and have fun.  A youth tournament might have competing teams from a set of schools that will all feed into the same high school while another tournament could have travelling elite teams from other areas of the country.  You should talk to the tournament director to confirm that the tournament will be a good fit for your team. 

The AAU National Qualifier tournaments held in March are the way that the teams from Western Washington can advance to the National AAU Basketball Tournaments across the country.
