AAU is a form of club or travel basketball. For Canadians, this primarily means playing in tournaments in the US in the off-season (spring and summer).  Tryouts are usually required for these teams. Many competitive Canadian teams play AAU as a way to gain exposure to US college/university coaches and teams. Other players and teams use AAU as an opportunity to extend the playing season. Only non-school teams compete in the AAU.
