What effect do AAU/travel ball teams have on sport participation at the high school and middle school level?
Pages: 46-47
DOI: 10.1080/07303084.2014.937246
I believe that AAU ball and travel ball are leading to sports specialization. This specialation causes middle and high school to focus on one sport instead of playing multiple sports. This could hurt their athletic development by them not developing skills in different sports that they could integrate into their primary sport. Specialization could also lead to very little rest time due to playing year round and an increase in injuries. Also, there is the question of whether the quality of coachcing at the AAU or travel the same as the high school or whether travel teams are just rounding up the best players and just traveling around beating other recruited teams instead of working on the fundamentals and player development? Personally I believe AAU focuses too much on athleticism and not enough on fundmentals and player development based on my experiences coaching young athletes.
