## Club teams and AAU basketball
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 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 PSB calls its teams club teams.

## Programs
