AAU Local Tournament Teams

History
 

Established as the region’s inaugural Jr. NBA in 2002, this league has continually advanced by broadening its programs and enriching opportunities for young athletes across the area. Through collaborative partnerships with local middle and high school basketball programs, as well as affiliations with collegiate coaches, organized basketball initiatives have been thoughtfully aligned with academic frameworks. This strategic approach culminated in a comprehensive rebranding to Ultra in the winter of 2025, underscoring our dedication to adapting alongside the sport and expanding our mission to provide outstanding AAU tournament basketball experiences for youth throughout the region.

Ultra now stands as the premier AAU and local travel team competing in DMV tournaments. Athletes not selected for the AAU roster continue their development in our In-House League and receive priority consideration for future tryouts. This structured model closely mirrors the relationship between major and minor league sports teams. Notably, several players who began in the In-House League have advanced to the tournament travel team, demonstrating the developmental pathway fostered within our system.
