WELCOME TO LAKE ERIE LIGHTNING GIRLS AAU BASKETBALL!
The Lake Erie Lightning Girls Amateur Athletic Union Basketball Club was established in 1998. The intent of the club is to improve the quality of girls basketball in the Monroe County Region. Athletes ages 10 through 16 are given the opportunity to improve and develop their skill and knowledge in a fun and sportsmanlike atmosphere. The Lake Erie Lightning Girls Basketball Club is a member of the A.A.U. and competes in A.A.U. sanctioned events. A.A.U. member teams represent the highest level of competition with the best athletes available. Click here for more information about the A.A.U.
Teams are made up of girls selected each year through an open tryout process. If selected to a team, girls will typically practice twice a week in the mid-evening hours at gyms across MonroeCounty. Teams compete across the state on designated weekends between late January and early May.
There is a small tryout fee of $25 which provides each athlete with an A.A.U. “AB” (Added Benefits) insurance policy. A small portion of the tryout fee covers the cost of renting the tryout gym. Every athlete must either pre-register online or manually fill out a form at the tryout and pay the tryout fee before they will be permitted to participate in tryouts. For information regarding the required AB insurance click here.
If a player is selected to the team, a player’s fee will be collected at the last tryout. The player’s fee pays for tournaments, uniforms, coaches shirts and A/B cards, practice gym rental and administrative costs. No refunds after payment is made, no exceptions. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us here.
