AAU, grassroots and club basketball

Tournament weekends, without the group-text scramble.

An AAU program runs tryouts, collects a program fee that covers entries and uniforms, and then lives on tournament weekends until summer ends. Team Scout gives the director and the team parents one account for fees, groups, the calendar and fundraising.

Sound familiar?

Game times drop late the night before, and half the families head to the wrong gym.

Jersey sizes get collected after the uniform order deadline.

Program fees come in through three payment apps and a stack of checks.

What Team Scout does about it

Program fees and sizes on one form

Tryout and Season registration templates with custom fields for jersey and shorts sizes, waivers signed on the form, and payment plans. A family paying by check shows Awaiting check until you record it.

A group per team

Each team has a feed, chat, roster and calendar. Post the weekend schedule once, and it reaches every family as a notification. Free.

Fundraising and sponsors

Fundraisers at 0% with an optional donor tip, and program sponsorships sold from a shareable buyer link.

When to start: Most spring and summer programs hold tryouts in the fall or winter, so the tryout form and the program fee should be ready a month before tryout day.

Questions AAU and club basketball programs ask

Does Team Scout run tournament brackets or scheduling?

No. Brackets and event scheduling stay with the tournament. Team Scout runs the program around them: fees, groups, the calendar, volunteers and fundraising.

Can parents pay by check?

Yes. At checkout a family can choose cash or check, and the registration shows Awaiting check until an admin records the amount, date and check number.

How to run registration and collect fees without chasing parents

Chasing is a design problem, not a people problem. Put the payment plan, the reminders and the policy on the form, and most of the follow-up happens without you. This guide covers installments, autopay, reminders, failed payments, cash and checks, refunds and family credits.
