I am the coach of a recreational team that's committed to teaching average student-athletes fundamental basketball skills. We play in various tournaments where the high profile AAU teams play to get lab work to measure our development and IQ in game situations. The super athletic kids dominate at early ages and the super egotistical coaches claim development; however, more rec developed kids play MS & HS ball than the other. So what is the difference in REC & AAU (travel teams)?
