AAU basketball

Looking for AAU basketball in Portland?

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 Portland 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 Portland tryouts above, or fill out the interest form.

Testimonials
  • One of the best clubs I’ve had the chance to be involved with. The F.O.C.U.S. Life Skills they teach truly stick with you for life. Worth every penny.
    Dandan S.
  • ProSkills Basketball Portland, led by Director and Head Coach Will Boettcher, is more than a training program—it’s a community where kids learn the true spirit of sports. Will puts his heart into helping every player grow, teaching not just basketball skills but also teamwork, respect, and perseverance. PSB’s dedication shines through in the way it creates an environment where athletes can challenge themselves, support one another, and truly understand what it means to be part of a team. It’s a place where the lessons learned go far beyond the scoreboard.
    Esther G.
  • PSB is well organized. The practices are appropriately structured allowing the kids to grow confidence through skill development and team camaraderie. A great model for children’s sports.
    Stephen M.
  • Our experience with Pro Skills Basketball Portland has been outstanding. From day one, the communication was clear, the staff was professional, and the coaches genuinely cared about the kids’ development—not just as athletes, but as teammates and leaders. The practices are structured, intense, and focused on fundamentals, which was exactly what we were looking for. Coach Will takes time to encourage players to think the game, not just play it. The players are coached to be able to recognize missed opportunities and problem solve, empowering them with thoughtful decision making. We’ve seen real growth in both our sons’ confidence, skills, and basketball IQ.
    Brianne S.

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.

When are PSB tryouts?

Spring tryouts run from late January through early April, depending on the city. This is when most teams are formed. Fall tryouts run in August and September. The rest of the year, players can be evaluated at a team practice when a team has an open spot.

What is an evaluation?

An evaluation is a tryout for one open team spot. Your player joins a team practice, and the coaches see if that team is a good fit. Fill out the interest form to ask about an evaluation in your city.

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 a monthly package of PSB clinics, camps and/or academies, so they keep getting better. Players can also be evaluated for an open team spot 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.
