February 21, 2010: District Championships Planning
Meeting

December 5, 2009 - Message from Larry Miller
CT AAU Club Directors,

In a national Girls Basketball Committee teleconference on
Thursday, Dec 3, several changes were announced and voting
resulted in additional changes primarily to AAU Nationals.

Leadership changes:

National Chair Carroll Graham from Oklahoma has resigned (will
be officially accepted at the next convention) and national
president Bobby Dodd has stepped in as acting Chair with Boo
Williams (VA) and Matt Williams (NV) serving as Assistant Chairs
(both of these gentlemen run major events in their area).
AAU Nationals:

  • AAU is changing its philosophy of separate national sites
    for each age and each division (I,II.III). They are
    following the trend of hosts holding their events in a single
    facility. In the future divisions I,II &III will be held in the
    same location with the same dates.
  • This is actually the best change to come out of the
    committee in years. This will allow you to decide
    now to attend a particular national in July and get
    the best prices on air and hotels. The level at which
    you participate in will be based to some extent on
    your placement in the qualifier but significantly on
    the level you are competitive in.
  • Currently, ages 14 through 16 (grades 9-11) for divisions
    I,II,III will be held in Orlando. Other locations for the
    younger ages were selected from the list of existing bid
    cities that had facilities large enough to host all divisions
    in one or two facilities. These include Nashville, Rochester
    (MN), Cincinnati and others. The actual schedule will be
    posted at aaugirlsbasketball.org in a week or so.
  • Rules changes include
  • 6 minute warm-ups
  • 4 minute half time
  • Ages up through 13 will play quarters instead of
    NCAA halves
  • An initiative to delete the 30 sec shot clock for the
    younger ages was defeated although it will be back
    on the agenda at the convention next fall.
  • Fees will be discounted by $100 if you register prior to
    April 15
