While we are extremely excited to have our new website go live, we are learning as we go in adding, editing, and updating our information.  Please be patient as we grow into the use of this new site. If you don't find any information under any tab it means we haven't gotten to that project yet, eventually we will.  Current updates and projects include:

• Club/Team links submitted will be posted
• Events in all sports are constantly being added and linked to hosts, check sport page and calendar
• If we do not have a local Minnesota Sport Director listed, you will see a National AAU contact for your sport so you can still compete or receive sport information. Our goal is to have each local sport director manage their own sport page for updates and information.

Minnesota AAU Girls Basketball is proud to offer a state championship tournament format that protects teams from unbalanced competition and determines which teams will play in the Division I or Division II & III Championship brackets.  Our two weekend event provides Super Pool play competition the 1st weekend in May that will place teams in Div I or II brackets for championship play the 3rd weekend in May.  Our Prelim Tournament places the top 6-8 seeded teams into 2 Super Pools, A & B.  Pools C through G are seeded traditionally beginning with the 9th seed being the top team in Pool C. The top 1 or 2 teams in Pools C through G earn spots in the Division I Championship bracket.  The remaining teams are placed in the Division II or III Championship bracket according to their finish in Prelim pool play.  This format protects weaker teams from the powerhouse teams while still providing all teams an opportunity to make it into the Div I Championship bracket. However, if your team does not qualify for the Division I bracket, your team still has earned the opportunity to be an AAU Champion, playing in the Division II or III championship bracket. In 2019 we will have Division 3 Champions in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.  The AAU State Tournament had outstanding competition and those in attendance got to see the best girls basketball players/teams Minnesota has to offer. See you in the gym.  Dave Preller, Director, MN AAU Girls Basketball
