The MWA Elite AAU Basketball Club is designed to expose new players/families to AAU basketball, build competitive teams from season to season, have roster continuity and offer the opportunity for players to move up to a State or National year team within the MWA Elite club structure. We offer team opportunities for boy’s 1st-12th grades and girls 5th -12th grades.

The 2024-25 MWA Elite-Local AAU season is made up 5 Individual seasons: -Fall-I, Fall-II, Winter- I & II, Spring and Summer. Each season will last anywhere from 7 to 11 weeks. 

Each season will coincide with the 17th Annual AAU Detroit Leagues. The D-Leagues provide mid-to upper-level AAU competition, weekly games and appropriate age brackets. Learn more at  https://basketball.exposureevents.com/organizations/1520/midwest-athletics

Local teams practice twice a week at Basketball City, play a 10-game season and have a paid qualified coach. Players can opt in and out of the Local Team program during the AAU calendar year. We take every precaution to keep rosters together from season to season. This is great way to have a greater chance of success on the AAU circuit.
