Why I Play

I got your request from my mother who subscribes to HARO at work.

My name is Erin and I'm 15. I've played AAU basketball for 4 years. I enjoy it because it's a great way to keep up on my skills during the off season. Basketball is competitive at my high school, so I work hard during AAU on skills. I love traveling with my team and we become really close. I meet girls from different schools. Also, tournaments are fun, competitive, and a great experience. I keep going back because I enjoy it and I learn more and more about the sport, improving every year.
