(We will be wearing the same uniform in 2025 that we did in 2024)

Spring/Summer Season

Tryouts take place in February.  Practices will start the first week of March with tournaments starting in April.  4th-8th Grade Teams will practice and play in tournaments through June.  9th – 11th Grade Teams will practice and play through the end of July.

Fall/Winter Season

Tryouts take place in October.  Teams are constructed for Grades 4th – 8th only.  Practices start the first week of November and run through the end of February.  Teams will play in 6-7 Tournaments November through early March.

Player development is a cornerstone of Team Pennsylvania.  Each team will have two 90-minute practices per week.  Practices will be held at various one of our Team PA facilities.  See “Facilities Page” on our website for more information about our practice gyms.  Specific details about times and locations for each team will be announced at Tryouts.

Team Pennsylvania has gained the reputation of doing something unique in their practices to produce not only the best basketball players in the area, but also the best athletes.  The secret has been injecting 20-30 minutes of speed/strength/agility training in every practice.  Under the direction of the areas top trainer – Corey Dickerson, Team Pennsylvania has truly separated themselves from other clubs with their level of development.  Coach Corey learned the importance of athletic training to develop complete players, however it was always hard to get the players to attend “extra” fitness training classes.   By injecting this training into our standard practice time, the players have no choice but to attend.  Has it yielded results?

“Team Pennsylvania players are tougher, stronger, faster, and in better overall condition than the teams they compete against.  Opposing coaches ask us what our secret is often!”

-Coach Corey Dickerson, Team Pennsylvania Director of Player Development and College Placement

Players try-out and play in their current grade.  The Club reserves the right to make exceptions from time to time and have a player play above their grade level with an older age group.

Team PA will look to construct at least two teams per age group; 4th Grade through 11th Grade.  

The Spring AAU Season is a tournament-based season.  4th – 8th Grade Teams will play in 6 to 8 tournaments starting in April and running through June.  Tournaments typically take place on Saturdays and Sundays and consist of anywhere between 2 – 5 games.  For the 4th – 8th Grade age groups the club will look to plan all tournaments within reasonable driving distance to prevent the cost of overnight stay.  Teams will have the autonomy to choose to stay overnight for a tournament or two if they desire.  9th – 11th grade teams will play 8 – 10 tournaments per year starting in April and running through the College Live Period in July.  Circuit level teams can expect to travel overnight for multiple tournaments to make sure to maximize college coach exposure.
