Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8: AAU is a competitive level of basketball. The WBA’s teams participate in the Three Rivers League.
www.threeriversbball.com. The number of players who try out and their ability level will help determine the number of teams the WBA has in each grade, the team rosters, and the level in the league at which those teams play.
Registration: Registration opens on September 1 and ends at the tryouts. On-line registration will close the night before tryouts begin for each gender (i.e., on September 23rd for girls and September 30th for boys).

AAU players from prior seasons may not wear their old AAU gear to tryouts. Any child who attends an AAU tryout in Wilsonville is not eligible to attend an AAU tryout in any other city (such as West Linn) and vice versa.
