AAU basketballLooking for AAU basketball in Charleston?
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 Charleston 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 Charleston tryouts above, or fill out the interest form.

Deion Craig, Director
Deion is a basketball coach, player development advocate, and City Director for Pro Skills Basketball Charleston with experience playing and coaching at multiple levels of the game.
Deion’s playing career began at East Georgia State College, where he competed at the junior college level. He later finished his collegiate playing career at Coker College, now Coker University.
After his playing career, Deion transitioned into coaching and spent four seasons as a Division I Assistant Coach with Charleston Southern University Women’s Basketball, where his primary focus was player development. During his time at Charleston Southern, he worked closely with collegiate athletes on individual skill development, basketball IQ, decision-making, and helping players translate their individual abilities into team success.
Deion currently serves as the Head Girls Basketball Coach at Cane Bay High School, where he is focused on building a positive, competitive culture centered around player development, connectivity, and empowering young women through basketball.
Deion is also a former PSB coach, making his return to Pro Skills Basketball especially meaningful. His experience with PSB gave him firsthand insight into the organization’s approach to player development and its commitment to positively impacting athletes and families through basketball.
The mission and values of PSB are important to Deion, and he is excited to bring that same commitment to the Charleston basketball community as City Director. He believes in creating an environment where athletes are challenged to improve, encouraged to compete, and supported as they grow both as basketball players and as people.
Questions parents askClub 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.
