Elite Club

FAS Elite teams are formed through tryouts and feature professional AAU coaches.  There will be a full team tryout in early July for High School teams and early August for 14U and younger teams.  Additional tryouts will be at the beginning of each season depending on how many players are currently on the team and if additional player(s) are needed.  Each team consists of a maximum of 10 players and is based on the age of the player as of August 31.  FAS Elite's  basketball year is broken up into three seasons:

• Fall/ Winter (14U and younger September-February ; High School July-October)
• Spring (14U and younger March-May; High School March-June)
• Summer (14u and younger June - August)

If you choose to play, you are fully committed for the entire season and are expected to travel outside of the city to play in weekend tournaments and/or leagues.  Most tournaments will be in Orange County, depending on the quality of the tournament and the needs/skill levels of the team.  Our goal is to enable you to advance and excel to the highest level of play.

To allow the athlete to participate in multiple sports, a year-long commitment is not required, only a seasonal one.  Thus, the athlete can choose to play basketball for 1 or 2 seasons and play another sport for the 2nd and/or 3rd seasons.  Each athlete and their families are required to sign a commitment contract for the season prior to being selected on a team.

Note: Once teams are formed, the athlete will have to wait for someone to leave before a spot can become available.  There are no refunds and once you are on a team, you are on the team for that entire season.
