Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play other sports and still play basketball?

You can still participate in other sports while undergoing basketball training, but we don’t recommend this approach. Like any other sport, basketball requires focus, dedication, and a certain level of stamina. You will unlikely have the time and energy to pursue several sports at the same time and with the same commitment.

If you find it beneficial, consider engaging in recreational sports that involve less demanding physical activity and time.

Do I need to attend a tryout if I was on the team last year?

No. If you’ve been a member of the team in the previous year, you don’t need to attend a tryout.

Are you an AAU member?

Yes, we are a registered member of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).

Do training sessions take place all year round?

Yes. The training sessions take place throughout the year, regardless of the season.

Do you have multiple teams per age level?

Yes. Depending on the number of applicants, we create multiple teams per age level.

Does participating in the tournaments cost extra?

No, Splash Girlz teams only participate in local competitions, and all costs are included in the monthly fee, with no additional expenses.

Is there a cost to tryout?

No, we don’t have any fee for the tryout process.

Is there a fee for basketball equipment?

What are the criteria for team membership?

We have developmental and advanced teams for each girls' basketball age group. So, even if you don’t have advanced basketball skills, we will find a team for you.

What does AAU mean?

AAU is an acronym for Amateur Athletic Union, a multi-sport organization dedicated to amateur athletes that also hosts the annual American Amateur Basketball Championship for AAU teams.

Where do the practices take place?

All the practice and training sessions take place at The PAC Training Facility.

Who evaluates the skills of the girls prior to their inclusion in the team?

All the girls are assessed during initial tryouts by our coaching staff under the direction of Head Coach Dominic Priestley. While every coach contributes to the evaluation process, the final roster decisions rest with Coach Priestley. Because we are a tournament-only program, prior experience in competitive basketball is welcome.
