AAU Basketball only.

The Cal Red Raiders Basketball season has 3 different seasons. Check out the home page for exact dates. The Spring I, Spring II & Fall seasons consist of 5-6 tournaments each.

There are 1-2 teams per grade level, depending on the season.  There is a minimum of eight players per team and a maximum of eleven. 

If there are two teams per grade, both teams will practice together through the season.  Teams will be divided into a “Black” team and a “Red” team for each tournament.  The Black team is the more competitive of the two.  Rosters are flexible within the season and players can be moved up or down at the coaching staff’s discretion. 

Club-wide tryouts will take place in late January of each year for our Spring I season.  New players may be added for the Spring and Fall seasons, and we have smaller tryouts prior to those.
