STACK Plays by the Rules!
When you see a team that calls themselves an elite team do your homework. First you have to see if they just cheat by putting older kids on the team. We see some programs locally that do just that. Its easy to create an elite team with older kids and play against younger kids but its cheating and its not an elite team. Kids have legitimate reasons to be held back but if they are not of the correct age they cant pretend they are. AAU basketball has strict rules and is cracking down on cheating by programs who play older players down. AAU Age Eligibility

Did You Know?
Our Stack Beast teams have become a dominant force in the NJ State AAU tournament the past few years and the main presence from Bergen/Passaic County. A big part of this is many of the teams in the area that called themselves elite are just cheating and they are not age-eligible for NJ AAU.
If your son wants to play for an elite team at STACK and he is of age contact us. We have a lot of interest from parents who play(ed) on teams that cheat and they rightfully don’t want to have their son being taught to cheat. It’s pretty simple-just ask the ages of the kids on your team if they are too old it’s not an elite team-its a program looking to take a shortcut exploit your son and cheat. You don’t want your kids to be on a team that cheats. STACK AAU Basketball makes sure all its players are the proper age and on the proper teams and we do that by getting them verified on National Sports ID.
