Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant recently announced the launch of Twelve Time AAU, a youth basketball program for 6th-7th grade boys and 7th grade girls. The initial announcement did not include any details, but Morant has since revealed how to get involved with the program, sharing a link for tryouts.
Morant also shared a post via his Twelve Time AAU Instagram page that includes an infographic with more details on tryouts. For the 6th-7th grade boys, tryouts will be held on February 10th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and February 11th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. For 7th grade girls, tryouts will be held on February 10th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Registration for tryouts is $30 online, and $60 for walkups. The infographic adds that a first cut will be made after day one of tryouts, and a final cut will be made following the last day of tryouts.
Nike’s EYBL logo is included on the infographic, confirming that Nike is partnering with Morant to bring this program to life. This is a great way for Morant to expand his impact among the youth, as he is already one of the most popular NBA athletes, especially with young fans.
Despite being sidelined for the season with shoulder surgery, Morant is remaining very active off the court with several exciting moves like this recent launch of his own AAU program.
