Albany Capitals Mission

The Capitals are committed to assisting female student athletes ages 11 through 16 in improving their individual basketball skills by providing knowledgeable coaching along with the opportunity to play with and against the highest level of competition. An equally important goal of the club is to develop character, teamwork, and sportsmanship in an enjoyable basketball environment. Players also develop new friendships established through the travel and competitive experience.

The Albany Capitals also provide those girls who wish to pursue basketball in college the opportunity to demonstrate their basketball abilities at AAU tournaments attended by college coaches and recruiters. In this regard, the Capitals participate in tournaments in an eleven state region consisting of New England and the Middle Atlantic States as well as in National AAU tournaments.

In addition, the Club hosts two AAU sanctioned basketball tournaments each June, one at Siena College and the other at the University at Albany.

The Albany Capitals are registered with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) as part of the Adirondack District (AD - Organized January 31, 1920).

The Albany Capitals serve the Greater Capital District in upstate NY, though players may come from outside this area.
