HOW TO ENTER YOUR TEAM: STEP-BY-STEP

1. Register all of your players and coaches (if you have not already done so) on-line at the National AAU website.  This will give you AAU cards and numbers instantly.  You must have AAU numbers for all coaches and players to fill out the entry forms.    (CLICK HERE) to go to the National AAU Web site.   When you get there, follow the directions.  You will need the dates of birth of all of your players and coaches to do this.

2. Make sure you know what the uniform numbers and AAU numbers of your players are, as well as the names and AAU numbers of your assistant coaches (up to 3) and head coach.  You will also need your head coach�s complete address and at least a home phone number (work and fax number if available).  We also need the e-mail address of the coach or a contact person for your team.  You need ALL OF THIS for the next step.

3. Download a complete set of the forms.  The steps to do this are as follows:

   1. Print this page so that you have the directions in front of you.

   2. If you have not done it already, download the most recent free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader by CLICKING HERE and following the directions.  The download takes awhile.  You have to install the Acrobat Reader software by double-clicking on the download file (see important note in "c" below.)

   3. You have to install the most recent version of Acrobat Reader after you download it.  Before you install it, be sure to un-install any old version you may have.  The best way to do this (in Windows) is to click "Start" "Settings" "Control Panel" "Add/Remove Programs."  A list of software will appear.  Click on Adobe Acrobat Reader (may vary slightly) and then click the "Add/Remove" button.  To install the most recent version of Acrobat Reader, simply double-click on the file and download it into (easiest to do this in Windows Explorer) and follow the directions.

   8. If you have problems or need to make roster changes after you submit the roster (i.e., spelled a name wrong or put your team in the wrong age group), send an email to: miaauboysbbregistrar@hotmail.com prior to your first game being played.  It is the responsibility of the contact person/coach to make sure all changes are on the official team roster prior to playing the first game in pool play.  Once the first game is played, the names on the roster are frozen and no other names can be added to that roster.)
