BRYC
TarHeels Mission
BRYC
TarHeels AAU Basketball program is organized to provide boys and
girls an
opportunity
to continue skills development and to play at a higher competitive
level. Our
program
will promote player development by providing qualified and
experienced
coaches.
Our program will include but not limited to teaching: ball handling
skills and
techniques
with a focus on proficiently dribbling with both hands, passing and
shooting skills,
the
mental aspect and approach to playing basketball at this competitive
level. We
want to
develop players to allow them to “take it to the next
level.”
What is BRYC TarHeels AAU?
The
BRYC TarHeels AAU Basketball program will be starting its eighth
season of
competitive
play. The program began quietly in the spring of 2000, focusing on
the
limited
opportunities for BRYC AAU basketball. We were able to provide
opportunities
for three
boys programs.
In
the spring of 2006 the BRYC Tarheels had 5 girls’ teams and 6
boys’ teams. Our 14U
Boys team
qualified for the AAU National Tournament for the second year in a
row.
The
BRYC Tarheels will provide playing opportunities for boys and girls 10-17
years old.
The
BRYC Tarheels are seeking qualified coaches for the 2009
Spring/Summer season.

Our
Goals
To
give players the best instruction possible through structured practices.
This gives
them
an opportunity to take what they learn in practice and implement it
in games
without
being afraid to fail.
If
a player’s future goal is to play and be successful for his
respective high school team, it
is
our duty as coaches to help prepare them to achieve that goal by
teaching them skills
and
fundamentals needed.
In
time, we don’t want to have to tell our players what to do
every second of a game.
Instead,
we want them to “understand” many aspects of the game
they may face, along
with the
different situations which may arise during the course of a game. We
want them
to make
their own decisions on the court, using coaches for help when
necessary.
About
AAU
AAU
basketball is played in the spring with tryouts held in late
February/early March and the
season
starting in early March, ending around June or July. It is an
opportunity for young
athletes
who enjoy playing basketball to do so at a much higher competitive
level than
the county
or house league can offer. Players will compete on a BRYC team that
will play
top teams
in the Washington
D.C.
metropolitan area, the region and national levels.
Games
are played on the weekends and are held in a tournament style format
with usually
3
or 4 games a weekend. Practices are held twice a week in gyms around
the Burke,
Annandale/ Alexandria
area. Team travel is based on your tournament schedule.
Some
travel schedules may require an overnight stay. If your team
qualifies to compete
in the
national AAU or YBOA championships, your stay could be up to one
week’s time.
