AAU basketball

Looking for AAU basketball in Charlotte?

Many families call youth club basketball “AAU basketball.” The name comes from the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), a national organization that runs youth sports events. Over time, “AAU” became the everyday word for any competitive travel basketball team that plays outside of school.

PSB Charlotte club teams are what most families mean when they search for AAU basketball, AAU teams or AAU tryouts near them: tryouts, teams grouped by grade and skill, weekly practices with trained coaches, and games and tournaments through the season.

PSB is an independent club program. It is not part of the Amateur Athletic Union, so we call our teams club teams. See upcoming Charlotte tryouts above, or fill out the interest form.

Testimonials
  • The Pro Skills basketball organization truly invested in its players, offering high-level skill development, genuine care and support, and valuable recruitment exposure—all within a tremendous, positive environment. Highly recommended for any young athlete looking to grow on and off the court. First class leadership and coaching staff that communicated clearer expectations and goals, while showing individual care towards each kid.
    Wesley M.
  • Could not have asked for a better organization for our son to play with. They taught the fundamentals and important skills but in a modern way. On paper our team shouldn’t have beat many teams, but because they had learned how to work together, how to run plays and not just run up and down the court, to play together as a team and not just “me” ball, they were so successful. And they had a great time doing it! This was one of his favorite seasons in over 9 years of travel ball. Amazing coaches and staff, supportive, great at communication, very well organized. Highly recommend.

  • Very detail oriented and systematic with the participants. My daughter enjoyed her session and learned a lot from them. Highly recommend Team PSB!

  • Great organization to help develop young basketball players. My son has enjoyed being a part of PSB!
    Logan D.
  • PSB has been an exceptional program for my son. Finding the right AAU organization for your child can be challenging in a saturated market. We tried several different programs before finding PSB. Other programs were too focused on winning at all expenses or didn’t have a competitive enough environment to make it fun for the kids. My son is in his second year with PSB, and it’s been the perfect mix of focusing on individual skills while still working together as a team to produce impressive results. I can tell the coaches and directors love what they do, and they are excellent at it. They strive to instill confidence in all the kids, which is so important in their development. All the PSB coaches have opportunities to work with and mentor my son, and they push him to become a better player.

Questions parents ask

Club team FAQs

Is PSB an AAU team?

PSB runs club teams, which many families call AAU basketball. PSB is an independent club program and is not part of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Our club teams offer what families look for in AAU basketball: tryouts, trained coaches, weekly practices, and games and tournaments through the season.

What’s the commitment level?

Club team memberships run 5 to 11 months, depending on the city. Families can expect 2 to 3 practices or workouts a week, and games or tournaments on 2 to 3 weekends a month. We believe in long-term development, not quick seasons.

What if my player plays other sports?

We support multi-sport athletes. Many PSB players also play soccer, football, baseball and more. Tell us your schedule and we will find the best fit, either a club team or a Player Development Membership (PDM), which has more flexibility.

What if we can’t afford the full fee?

Every city offers payment plans. Some cities also have limited financial aid for club team memberships. Contact us to learn more.

What if my player doesn’t make a team?

Not every player is placed on a club team, but no one gets left behind. A Player Development Membership (PDM) gives players structured training, weekly practices and internal games, with a chance to be re-evaluated for a club team during the year.

Can my player try a practice before committing?

In most cities, PSB runs open clinics, camps or evaluation sessions before the season starts. They are a great way to experience our coaching and culture. Contact your City Director to see what is available.
