AAU stands for Amateur Athletic Union

The Amateur Athletic Union is a youth sports organization. To put it simply - groups of players get together and form independent teams that compete in AAU tournaments against other teams. Since it was first created, the goal of AAU has been to advance the development of youth sports and physical fitness programs.

UYP Youth is the club experience empowered by Up Your Performance Basketball Academy. Our overall mission is to provide a platform for student athletes to showcase their talents in a more competitive environment than a classic recreation league. UYP Youth is for athletes in the grades 2nd-8th grade.

UYP HS is the club experience empowered by Up Your Performance Basketball Academy. Our mission is to offer a safe and competitive environment for your child to learn and grow as a basketball player. Our goal is to help equip each player for next year's season of basketball through education of the fundamentals of basketball. 

We teach all students the basics of dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, game play, etc. Each practice is structured to demonstrate basics to expert techniques and concepts from staying low, jumping ball side and game planning to name a few. Your child will leave better from when they entered. It is not only our hope we can help assist in the possibility of a scholarship to play at a higher level but to help in the development of leaders. 

What sets us apart from every other club is our ability to properly asses and strategize for your child’s basketball journey. We hope to see you for the coming club season and prepare your child for the next level!
