Player Tryouts and Registration

Why Play AAU Basketball with the Saratoga Sparks?
The Saratoga Sparks are very excited about the upcoming AAU season. Player registrations have been rolling in and the Sparks Board of Directors and coaches are working hard to make the upcoming 2012 season even more special than last season... and that will be a challenge.

Last year the Sparks finished stronger then ever, sending several teams to the AAU Nationals and Junior Nationals. Two of our teams finished in the top eleven in their age brackets, placing them among the elite in the country. This season should bring even more good things to the organization... so make sure that you are part of it!

We would also like you to consider the following facts about our organization;

  • The Sparks are not only the fastest growing program in the Capital District, our organization is the largest, last season there were 13 teams ranging from grades 4-11.
  • Currently the Sparks have numerous coaches with college and varsity high school coaching experience.
  • Sparks alumni have continued their basketball careers at the collegiate level. Our organization has help prepare many players compete at the Division I, II and III level, and our placement efforts have increased every year.
  • In recent years Sparks players have been named to the NewChannel 13 Girls All-Star Team and most of last year’s Class AA NYS Finalist team sharpened their skills as Saratoga Sparks.
  • And most important, fun, over the last ten seasons Sparks players and families have forged friendships that have lasted far beyond basketball.

So if you want to be part of the best organization in the Capital District, take the first step by registering for our upcoming tryouts. Or contact us for more information, we are more than happy to answer questions about what our organization can offer you.
