Question 2

Picking The Best AAU Program For Your Child

Accepted Answer

Every parent wants what’s best for their child—on and off the court. When choosing an AAU program, look for one that teaches the game the right way, builds confidence, and surrounds your child with positive role models.

At SLT Hoops, we’re more than basketball. We focus on helping kids grow as players and as people, with coaches and mentors who care about effort, attitude, and development. It really does take a village...and we’re proud to be part of yours.

Question 3

What's The Difference Between Travel Basketball & AAU Exposure Basketball?

Accepted Answer

Travel basketball usually focuses on local or regional leagues or tournaments. It’s great for learning team concepts, improving skills, and getting consistent reps.

AAU exposure basketball takes things a step further. These teams play on bigger stages, often in tournaments with college coaches, media, and elite competition. Both have value, but exposure basketball is about competing at a higher level and gaining visibility for future opportunities.
