Competitive AAU Players

Based on Summer player availability, Blue Chip typically has 3-8 4th-12th grade teams participating in Summer Tournament activity. Usually, at a minimum, we participate in:

AAU Worlds @ Disney ESPN
End of Summer Slam
We also target opportunities to participate at amazing multi-court facilities like ACSE in Gainesville, The Villages & Myrtle Beach.

Use the form below to let us know if you want to be included in our pool of players looking to play in any of these tournaments. For squads where we have more players than spots, here are the current criteria the staff coaches generally use to determine who they choose for their squad:

Total Eval Score (20 cumulative max) = BC IDP participation/evaluation (0-8) + Skill/Athleticism (0-5) + Coachability (0-3), Experience (0-2) + Parental Responsiveness (0-2)

Competitive Players

UPDATED 3-20-25

Blue Chip historically has 5-8 5th-12th grade teams participating in each tournament we enter during the Spring/Summer season.

We present our tournaments typically in an ala-carte format where we assemble new teams for every tournament we enter. We will still have this option for this 2025 season, but in addition, we will be assembling core teams of players who want to play together across multiple events and enter in higher and more competitive divisions to better prepare them to play at higher levels.

So the current roadmap and APPROXIMATE costs for core team members will be:

• 3/29-5/17 Local Spring League Competitive Division – Games, Playoff Tournament & Weekly Practice $450
• 4/19-4/20 AAU National Easter Classic – Orange County Convention Center – $175
• 5/24-5/26 AAU National Memorial Classic (SOLD OUT – We have 11 BC Teams Attending)(Largest AAU tournament in the country) – $200
• Summer Tournaments TBD approx 2 per month based on how core teams do and player availability (will be ala carte)

So for this period of play 3/21 thru 8/11 the game count range should be 16-28 games with a cost estimate of $925± depending on how many tournaments a player is able to participate. So a BC IDP player’s schedule will be training once a week, squad practice once a week for a total of 2 practices a week. Any gaps in the schedule that present an opportunity to get extra practices are usually around $15/practice.

IMPORTANT

For players who select the option to be considered for the core team rosters (expected to participate in all events during this period) There will be a preorder of $500 non-refundable credit toward fees as a commitment. It will not be charged until the coaches have finalized their rosters.

For players who want to stay a la carte or do not get picked for a core roster. You must select all the tournaments in the list you are available for and then you will be considered for a team or as core team fill-in for that particular tournament based on player availability.

Players who have already submitted an interest form, we already have your submission in the database so you do not need to resubmit UNLESS your availability status has changed.
