MN Rush is a competitive boys and girls AAU program based in St. Michael-Albertville. Boys tryouts for 7th grade and under are coming in February and early March. Girls teams have roster spots open right now.
Two ways onto an MN Rush team for 2027. Younger boys teams are formed at open tryouts each winter. Girls teams and older boys teams add players through recruiting and individual evaluations, so you can reach out any time of year.
Open tryouts for boys in 3rd through 7th grade. No prior MN Rush experience needed. Exact dates, times, and the gym will be posted here first, then on Facebook and Instagram.
Girls teams are adding players through recruiting and evaluations rather than a single tryout date. Current openings:
Girls tryouts, when scheduled, are announced here and on our social media.
Email girls@mnrush.com →We do not always hold open tryouts for 8th grade and older. When a team has spots to fill we post a tryout or open gym. Want to be scouted? Email boys@mnrush.com with your player's grade, position, and current team.
When dates are posted, register online so we have your player's info before you walk in. Check in 15 minutes early.
Skill work, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5. Coaches and directors evaluate effort, skill, basketball IQ, and how you play with others.
Coaches contact parents directly with offers. Spots are not guaranteed; every player is competing for a real roster position.
Accept your spot, pay the season fee online, and practices begin in March. Tournaments run April through July.
Boys 2027 tryout dates will be emailed to this list before they go on social media. Girls families can use the same form to request an evaluation.
We'll email you as soon as tryout dates are set. Questions in the meantime? Email boys@mnrush.com or girls@mnrush.com.
Boys tryouts for 7th grade and under are typically held in February or early March, before the spring AAU season starts in April. Exact 2027 dates, times, and the gym location will be posted on this page, on Facebook, and on Instagram as soon as they are set. Join the tryout list on this page and we will email you first.
Boys in 7th grade and under can attend open tryouts. No previous MN Rush or AAU experience is required. Players from St. Michael, Albertville, Rogers, Elk River, Buffalo, Monticello, Otsego, Delano, Maple Grove, and anywhere in the Northwest Twin Cities metro are welcome.
Our older boys teams are primarily built through recruiting, so we do not always hold open tryouts at those levels. When a team has roster spots to fill, we post a tryout or open gym. If you want to be scouted, email boys@mnrush.com with your player's grade, position, and current team.
Girls tryouts are announced on this page and on our social media when they are scheduled. Right now several girls teams have open roster spots and are adding players through individual evaluations. Email girls@mnrush.com to set one up.
No. Roster spots are offered at the discretion of MN Rush coaches and directors based on tryout performance and previous season experience. Every player who attends is competing for a real spot. Coaches reach out directly to parents with offers.
Basketball shoes, a reversible or light and dark shirt, a water bottle, and a completed registration if we have posted one. Arrive 15 minutes early to check in.
Practices begin in March for most teams. The tournament season runs April through July, with 6 to 9 tournaments on the Prep Hoops Circuit, MYAS, and AAU events, mostly in Minnesota.
