AAU Travel Teams
Looking to find a more advanced basketball program? Welcome to the Evolution!
This is a competitive travel team for players looking to develop their skill set by practicing with and playing against top level talent. For our younger teams, we have coaches who emphasize the fundamentals as players learn how to play at a faster pace. For our older teams, we focus on strategy and strength training to help prepare them for high school basketball and beyond. We offer a complete training program that includes strength training, shooting/speed clinics, yoga and so much more.
We are based out of the Franklin Athletic Club in Southfield, MI. We have two, regulation-sized courts to practice on and a full weight room to help our players develop strength and speed. Teams are formed through tryouts in the fall and spring. We also offer private workouts throughout the year for those who may be looking to find a new squad after our tryouts have been completed.
