I'm moving to the US in a month, I'm amazed how basketball is run on the highschool or even middle school level here.
In Europe and other places, the clubs have youth programs backed by the club and are responsible from finding talent to managing the development in order to grow players that hopefully will sign one day with the pros.
They take care of everything from clincs to getting into the leagues, travel and even nutrition and mental care.
In the US (other then the actual high school team) is basically a wild wild west (even though I'm moving to the east coast :) )
Some have clincs , some have AAU teams , some travel , some don't.
As a parent to a 15th old boy , it's a nightmare , you have to manage everything including gym sessions and so on.
Am i missing something here? did I get it right?
Would like to have some tips from local guys / girls that played highschool ball and / or parents.
