Just found out the best 7th graders from Pittsburgh are playing on different teams this weekend. Game speed and Freebirds. They all should be playing together.
@BREAL412@SteveRotstein Again, why should it be Mt Lebanon that forfeits when it’s Cheltenham that has closed for the week?
PIAA can reschedule the game and have players and family attend.
Can someone in the AAU world tell me why organization are charging $800 for 5, 6, 7th graders to play basketball and tournament fees and uniforms are not included. Oh my bad the get a sports pack( warmup bag and shoes). Then they are told the team is sponsored by UA.
@BREAL412@mwhiteburgh Wpial basketball doesn’t matter. Wpial let’s this happen all the time because they don’t let anyone transfer. If you are on a good AAU team, school ball doesn’t matter. It works both ways, 95 percent of the high school coach’s stink and the one’s that play to win this happens.
Little Johnny or Janie isn't playing. Their parents get upset. Parents get in ear of school board members. Coach gets pushed out. It would be a shame, but not at all shocking, if this is another example of that. From @mwhiteburgh ... post-gazette.com/sports/high-sc…

@mrgreen3877 Yes True, but there are tournaments year round that a lot of the AAU programs can play in. Give the teams a chance to compete and for the players and parents to see what’s out there.
Big shout out to Fcaa and Pittsburgh wildcats for being the only two grade school AAU team’s playing all year round. Parents if you’re AAU program isn’t playing all year round you need to change AAU teams.
