Elite and Local Teams

We have structured our program around what the parent can give back. Travel basketball programs can be demanding but so can work schedules. We work in the background to create teams that compete both locally and travel exposure types of events.

Understanding AAU Basketball Age Eligibility and the Value of Tough Competition

January 1, 2025 By Coach Kosta

As a basketball coach, I’ve spent countless weekends at AAU tournaments, guiding my teams and observing the talent across the age groups. One of the most consistent—and controversial—topics that arise is age eligibility. Parents often notice players who seem to be older and more developed competing in younger brackets. While it can be frustrating to […]

Heart over hype. This weekend, our 16U squad showe Heart over hype. This weekend, our 16U squad showed what Ares Basketball is all about — fighting through adversity and never backing down. We started Game 1 with just 4 players, kept it close, and pulled off the win. From there, we battled in Division 1 playoffs, playing in the historic gym where Bill Russell once dominated, and faced a team coached by a former Lakers player — losing by just 3 points in a hard-fought playoff game.
Proud of the heart, hustle, and family that defines us.
