SEASON DETAILS
TRYOUTS
Tryouts for the summer season are held at the end of May/beginning of June (please click here for specific tryout info at each of our locations).

The summer travel season runs from the beginning of June through the end of July. (High school teams will practice a few times in June, but the bulk of practices and all of the games will take place in July, due to commitments with their respective high school programs.
AGES
2nd-12th grade boys & girls (2025-2026 school grade)
(1st grade boys & girls are eligible to tryout if they are able to play on a standard 10 foot basketball hoop.)

Regional & National Teams
All 6th-12th grade players that tryout may be eligible to be evaluated for a Regional or National team. All 6th through 12th grade Regional and National teams were formed in the spring, as these teams have a competitive spring/summer tournament schedule. 6th-12th grade teams will play in a minimum of 3 summer events.

BENEFITS OF ALL IN TRAVEL BASKETBALL
Jr. NBA Flagship Network
ALL IN is 1 of 18 Jr. NBA Flagship Network programs nationwide. The Jr. NBA Flagship Network is comprised of 15 best-in-class youth basketball organizations that share the Jr. NBA’s vision for how the game should be taught and played at the grassroots level, and have committed to pursuing the highest standard of operation in the industry.
New Balance Partnership
ALL IN Athletics is proudly sponsored by New Balance, one of the world’s premier athletic brands. Through this partnership, we provide our student-athletes with elite resources and opportunities to excel both on the court and in the classroom.
HonestGame
ALL IN has partnered with Honest Game to help our athletes track their NCAA academic eligibility requirements - ensuring that they are able to take advantage of their opportunities to compete at the college level.
Player Evaluations
At the conclusion of every season, your child's ALL IN coach will deliver a feedback report utilizing our player evaluation software, TeamGenius. We believe in the ongoing value of offering feedback each season for continuous development.
Flexible Scheduling
We offer flexible practice and tournament scheduling for players that participate in more than one sport during the season. We ask that you provide us with the practice & game schedules for your other team(s) so that we can do our best to plan around them.
Discounted Training
ALL IN travel team players will receive 10% off of skills training throughout the year. Like ALL IN Travel/AAU team practices, ALL IN skills training sessions feature active and dynamic drills to teach game concepts and develop fundamental skills. No sitting on the bench or standing in long lines during drills provides players with the ultimate opportunity to improve their skills over the course of the year. (Discount does not apply to private lessons.)
Positive Coaching
Our coaches are trained to provide positive and constructive feedback to the players in skills training, practices and during the games. The constant feedback provided by coaches and staff will expedite the process for skill development. We believe our coaching staff is unparalleled in their passion, commitment, dedication and knowledge of the game.
Playing Time
ALL IN Travel Basketball is a competitive developmental program. Players are guaranteed at least 40% playing time over the course of a tournament. Although we are trying to compete in tournament games, we believe it is more important to develop all players. By guaranteeing more game reps, we are confident that players will improve their skill set and ability to play the game. (Coaches of elite teams do not have to follow this playing time rule. If your child is being placed on an elite team, you will be notified at the start of the season.)
Appropriate Competition
We will have multiple teams at most grade levels. This allows us to place players appropriately based on their skill level and position. We will work very closely with tournament directors to ensure that your child’s team is playing against other teams that will provide a challenging but competitive matchup.
College Recruiting
The ALL IN staff has worked hard to build meaningful relationships with college coaches and scouting services over the past 19 years. We will ensure that each player is put in a position to receive appropriate college exposure opportunities during AND after the season. We expect multiple players to receive college scholarship offers and collegiate playing opportunities while participating with ALL IN during the spring & summer seasons.
Player Development
The ALL IN goal is to develop each player on and off the court. We will provide a complete basketball experience that stresses: fundamental skills, game concepts, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Professional Coaching Staff
Every member of the ALL IN coaching staff is a USA Basketball Gold Licensed coach. All coaches must complete three items to become a USA Basketball Gold Licensed coach, which includes an extensive background screening, along with completing two courses. The USA Basketball Coach License provides our staff with the national standard in coach education and safety, along with receiving recognition through USA Basketball.
PCA Parent Workshop
During the spring season, as part of our partnership with the Jr. NBA Flagship Network, all parents of ALL IN travel team players will be offered a Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) Parent Workshop at no cost. Parents impact their children’s lives like no other people can…in sports as in every other aspect. Parents do best by their children when focusing on sports as a developmental opportunity, rather than a do-or-die, win-at-all-cost proposition. A positive parent is a Second-Goal Parent®, who focuses on that Second Goal, the life lessons. Unconditional love for their children regardless of athletic performance and a relentless commitment to helping them process the ups and downs of youth sports marks the positive sports parent.
Affiliates in Counseling
AIC will be able to provide mental health professionals to assist in meeting our goal of prioritizing full development for all those involved with ALL IN.
