Spring team dues
This applies to players on our spring AAU team. Winter training is a separate $50 season fee. Our coaches volunteer, so every dollar of dues goes to running the club, gym time, uniforms and tournaments, not salaries.
- Club registrationPaid once a year. Covers what it takes to run the club, including insurance, admin fees, travel costs, team supplies and gear.
- Court feeCharged each quarter for gym time.
- UniformTeam members only. The kit is built to last two seasons.
- Tournament entryTeam members only, for about 10 tournaments a year. Due before tournaments start, not when you join.
We go over the current spring fee schedule with every family before you pay anything. Payment is handled directly with the club, not through this website. More in the Parent & Player Handbook.
A name with history
The original PG Jaguars were an AAU program from Prince George's County, Maryland. In the early 2000s their youth teams won two national championships and several regional titles. PG Jaguars NxtGen is rebuilding that tradition around hard work, player development and pride in the team.
Questions from parents
Is this for beginners?
Winter training is for girls with some team experience. If she's newer to the game, house league is a great first step, and we'd love to see her next year.
Are there tryouts?
No. Winter training is open to experienced 7th grade girls until all 15 spots are filled. After that, we keep a waitlist.
My daughter didn't make a select team. Is she good enough?
Every player gets real coaching attention and a path to improve, whatever their starting level.
What does it cost?
$50 for the winter season, with a reduced rate for late joiners. The first session is free.
Where and when do you practice?
We email the location and schedule after you sign up.
Can she still play house league?
Yes. Weekly training is a great complement to house league.
Can siblings practice with the team?
Yes. Siblings of team members may practice with the team as long as they are no more than one grade above or below the team's grade, and they register with the club, paying the annual club registration and the quarterly court fee.
Only players on the team pay uniform and tournament fees, so those don't apply to siblings.
