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.

Now

Ultra now stands as the premier AAU local travel team competing in DMV tournaments. ClubUltra, organized by former university players, provides mandatory weekly skills training for all rostered athletes beyond their regular workouts. Those not on the AAU roster continue developing in ClubUltra in-house program and are given priority for future tryouts. This setup resembles major and minor league sports systems. Many players from the ClunUltra in-house training program have progressed to the travel team, highlighting our developmental pathway.

Objective 

is to compete in our registered affiliate independent circuits, such as Made Hoops, before pursuing participation in the major shoe circuits.
