Travel Basketball Teams
Travel teams at NEPA Elite are for elite level players looking to continue to play the game of basketball competitively in the Northeast area. The AAU commitment will force your son or daughter to continuously compete against the best talent in the area weekly, both at practice and testing their talents on the hardwood on the weekends.
AAU is for boys and girls in 4th to 11th Grade. The following programs are available with information below: NEPA Elite; Backcourt Bulldogs; NEPA Flames; JB Hoops.
