AAU Girls' Basketball Goes to Grade Based System; Championships Now Called by Grade and Not Age Group
Last Updated: September 28, 2010
For the 2011 championship season, AAU Girls’ Basketball has changed its age group rules, a change will not have much of a change in substance from the 2010 rules, but comes with a change in the names of the competitive division names.
Essentially, AAU Girls’ Basketball has gone to a pure grade basis, with certain maximum ages for each grade. As part of moving to the grade-based approach, all competitive age groups have gone to a "grade" name rather than an "age group" name for the competitive division. For instance, gone are the 9-Under, 10-Under, etc. names as they are replaced with 4th Grade, 5th Grade, etc.

NCAA Announces "Application of the Adjoining State Rule" for NCAA Certified Events
Major Changes in Store for 2011 Season, Starting with Fall 2010
 BEGINNING FALL 2010 – WOMEN’S TEAMS MUST COMPLY WITH ADJOINING STATE RULE – In April 2010, legislation was adopted that would require women’s teams participating in an NCAA-certified event to meet the same residency restrictions that have applied to the men’s teams since 2005. The effective date of the legislation is September 1, 2010. In that regard, fall 2010 events will be required to apply the legislation when allowing teams to participate in those events. This means that all teams participating in NCAA-certified fall events must be made up of individuals that reside either within the same state as the team’s official address or within a geographically adjoining state AND with not more than three prospects from adjoining states participating on any one team. Additional information about this requirement can be found with the following links:
