About the USA Lakesiders

TkatClub's USA Lakesiders is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and an AAU sports club that offers basketball, football, and dance programs for boys and girls ages 8-17 years old.  In 2019, we were founded by our parent organization, Talented Kids and Teens LLC in order to expand program offerings to include organized athletics.

 

USA Lakesiders is a youth basketball programOUR MISSION

 

To uplift and inspire confidence in youth by encouraging their positive self-expression through the Arts, Athletics, and Academics.

 

 

We believe that well-rounded children who have an outlet to express what they feel is their true selves, their energy, their passion, are the one that do best in school and ultimately in life.

 

WHY AAU?

 

We chose to align the USA Lakesiders sports club with the American Athletic Union (AAU) because it is a well-established and well-respected governing body for youth athletics.  AAU offers a proven framework for planning, developing, operating, and managing quality sports programs, events, and competitions.

 

We adhere to the AAU Code of Conduct that you may review here:  http://image.aausports.org/codebook/codebook.pdf

  • Question:  What's the difference between a workout and a tryout?
    • Answer:  Elementary and middle school students will pay a small fee to tryout for the team.  However, due to high school athletic rules, any student eligible to play in high school can only participate in a free workout session outside of school. Workout and tryout routines are basically the same, except for skill level adjustments.
