Why Play For Legacy?
Our focus at Legacy Hoops is to use basketball as an avenue to open the doors for mentorship, growth, and building ever lasting relationships. On the court, we have a heavy focus on skill development which is built through our training programs and also our AAU coaching staff. We provide the opportunities for college exposure, we have a strong knowledge on college recruiting, and most importantly having fun which can be lost in the AAU community today. We think it’s important to maintain a level of competitiveness without sacrificing our core values in the process. We play very competitive schedules, which are catered to each specific grade and level of the team.
AAU Girls Tryout Details
Our Legacy Hoops West teams will be based out of our Legacy Hoops Eden Prairie location. If you prefer, you can sign up for our Legacy Hoops East Tryouts which are based out of our Woodbury location. Our 5th-11th grade teams will have Elite, Gold, and Silver teams. Our 3rd-4th Elite teams will be formed from all over, NOT split up by West or East. Please keep in mind, if you make an Elite team at ANY grade level, you will be expected to drive to either location for practices. Gold and Silver teams will be based on location. The amount of teams will depend on the amount of commitments we receive at each grade level..

2027 AAU Season Info:
Team Fees
For the 2027 AAU season, fees for grades 3-11 ranged from $600-$1,300, and vary according to the number of roster spots, tournaments, out-of-state tournaments, and other factors. We DO NOT pay for travel expenses for out of state tournaments or AAU cards. Uniforms and Shooting Shirts will be included in the fees.
In order to secure your roster spot, we will collect a team deposit of $250 once a commitment is made and the remaining fees will be paid BEFORE the FIRST tournament. Half of team fees are due by January 31st. NO EXCEPTIONS! If fees are not paid, roster spots will not be protected, spots can be replaced at any time, and athletes will not be able to play. We will offer payment plans to help in any way we can, but you must communicate your financial need upon accepting a roster spot. We will be very firm on this this.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO REFUNDS once a commitment is made to accept a roster spot, including the deposit as well as other payments made towards the team fees.
Tournaments
We play a very competitive tournament schedule in state and out of state. Tournament play will begin in April. We plan to have final schedules set once we have fully evaluated teams in the Fall, but no later than Feb 1st depending on date changes of tournaments. There will be between 5-10 tournaments, which are determined by the age and level of the team. Teams will play locally, regionally and nationally according to age and level of the team. Tournaments can be added as the season progresses per coach, player commitment, and parents interest.
Practices
Practice is the most important part of our program. Not just practice but teaching and DEVELOPMENT. We put a heavy focus on development and making sure kids are getting better and not just playing games. The Spring/Summer AAU season practices will begin late March/early April due to spring breaks and winter season schedules. Each team will practice on average two times per week, unless coaches add more. Each practice will range from 90-120 minutes unless the team coach schedules differently. Most practices will be held on weeknights, NO WEEKENDS unless coach and team decide on it. Practice locations for our legacy WEST teams will be at the Legacy Hoops Basketball Academy in Eden Prairie, Hopkins HS/Junior HS, St. Louis Park schools, and possibly other locations in the surrounding area according to how much space is needed. Elite teams could practice in Hopkins or Woodbury based on the coach. We plan to have the official nights of practice set by early March at the latest.
*Unless communicated with the coach, it is very important that players are committed and consistently attend practices in order to get the proper playing time, etc. This includes those playing other sports. If a player does not practice the week of a tournament, they do NOT play in games on that weekend.
Multi Sport Athletes
We do support multi-sport athletes in our program. We understand the importance of kids being well rounded athletes and kids, but we do ask for a balance with both basketball and the other sport. IN ORDER TO PLAY ON A “ELITE” TEAM, YOU MUST HAVE A FULL COMMITMENT TO BASKETBALL! A commitment to basketball is required to play in our program, as we want consistency so each team can be as competitive as possible. All second sport schedules should be given before the season begins so structure the proper plan for practice attendance. There is a requirement to be at practices during the week in order to play in games. Please be sure to accept spots only if you can have a flexible balance and commitment to basketball.
