[ COMMON QUESTIONS ]

Questions parents actually ask.

Questions parents actually ask.

Questions parents actually ask.

How do I get into an Elite squad? Are there tryouts?

No tryouts. There are two paths in: invitation — coaches observe players in Academy and identify who's ready — and inquiry — players outside Free Flow reach out, we set up an Academy session or open run to see you play. Same standard either way, no closed door.

My kid plays club / rep basketball. Can they still join Elite?

Yes — many of our Elite players also play club. Drop-In pricing and flexible scheduling exist for exactly this reason. Talk to us about how to balance the two; we'll work around your season.

How does AAU selection work out of Elite?

AAU teams are 10 players per age group, selected from Elite squads (which carry 15–20 players each). Selection happens before the AAU season starts (Sept 1 – Aug 31 cycle). Coaches assess across the prior season's training and competition.

What are the additional AAU costs if my kid is selected?

AAU tournament fees, uniforms, travel and accommodation for events are separate from Elite training fees. Costs are confirmed at the time of AAU selection so families have clarity before committing.

What if my kid is invited but isn't sure they're ready?

Every invitation includes a trial period. New players come in, train with the squad, and either everyone confirms it's a fit — or we have an honest conversation about timing. No pressure to commit before everyone's confident.

Is Roots okay for total beginners?
