Players

Player/Parent inquiries regarding signing up for the Spring AAU season

• Currently Runnin’ Redwoods has no official tryouts. Teams are usually formed by coaches interested in running a team. If your son or daughter is interested in in playing, we suggest a two pronged approach:
  • Reach out to parents or rec basketball coaches you may know (in your child’s same age group).
  • Give us (AAU Committee) your child’s name, age group. We will pass that information along to any coaches that may be seeking players. Email info@slvhoops.org.
