Our pricing structure for our 2024 Spring Season will be:

(2024 will be a new uniform year and will be used for at least two years)

Team Pennsylvania constructs Winter Teams on both the Boys and Girls side of our program for grades 4th Grade through 8th Grade.  Over the last few years extending 4th Grade – 8th Grade Teams from the summer into the winter has become very popular for top AAU Clubs.  The teams practice 1-2 times per week and play in at least four tournaments.  Our Girls Teams will play in the Select Winter Series and our Boys Teams will play in Hoop Group – Next Gen Series and Made Hoops.  The program runs October through February.  Look for information on our website for our next Winter Series Season for the 2024-25 winter season.

Player development is a cornerstone of Team Pennsylvania.  For our Spring Season, each team will have two 90-minute practices per week.  Practices will start the first week of March and run through June for 5th – 8th Grade Teams and through July for 9th – 11th Grade Teams.  Practices will be held at various Harrisburg Area 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 Spring 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

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.  College Showcase level teams can expect to travel overnight for multiple tournaments to make sure to maximize college coach exposure.

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 created for Grades 4th – 8th only.  Practices start the first week of November and run through the end of February.  Teams will play in 4-6 Tournaments November through early March. 

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.

The Club will look to have two teams at every age group on both the boys and girls side of the club.  In the case of an age group that can field an additional “AAU competitive” team there will be times when there are three or more teams at a specific age group.

Team Pennsylvania has a partnership with The ROAD College Prep Academy.  Located in Harrisburg at 5480 Linglestown Road, The ROAD has become one of the top training facilities in all of Central PA.  Team PA players will receive a discount to a monthly membership.  Several of the top players in Team PA train year round at the ROAD…..and…..
