Hidden Gems AAU will provide a competitive schedule that will include most the big name tournaments in Ohio and surrounding states for HS teams.

A respectable coaching staff is in place from successful programs within Central Ohio. Many of the coaches have played or coached College and Professional Basketball, which allows them to teach from first-hand experiences.

Also our Academic Advisor will be available for subject-specific assistance.
