Boston Warrior AAU Boys Basketball Program is one of the strongest programs in New England

In 2010 the Boston Warriors won the Massachusetts State Tournament in BOTH the coveted 17U and 13U GOLD Medals.  In addtion, in 2011 we had 13 teams qualify for the AAU National Championships. But it is not all about going to the national Championships. We offer players of all talent level the possible opportunity to play competitive spring basketball. The size of each roster are kept manageable and try to keep the price to play affordable. Most of all, we have provided very good coaching including a lot of skill work with real practices.  Our mission is to provide local athletes intent on improving their games with an opportunity to compete against the best in NE.

Giovacchini Wins Inagural High School Sullivan Award

Boston Warriors' Dan Giovacchini was recently named the winner of the Inagural High School Sullivan Award. 

The High School Sullivan Award stems from the prestigious AAU Sullivan Award, honoring the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States.  The Sullivan award is the highest honor for an amatuer athelete. Presented annually by the AAU since 1930, the award was named after founder and past president of the Amateur Athletic Union James E. Sullivan. 

Starting in 2011 (this year), they have added a high school division for the Sullivan Award. Based on the qualities of leadership, character, sportsmanship, and the ideals of amateurism, the award goes far beyond athletic accomplishments to honor those who have shown strong moral character. 

The High School Sullivan award looks to honor a high school student who emboies leadership skills and has given back to their community by participating in some type of athletics. 

Giovacchini was selected from four boys finalists and awarded a $10,000 scholarship as a result.  He will officially received the award on July 16 in Orlando as part of the ceremony to kick-off the ESPN Rise games. 

In his high school career, Giovacchini earned 12 varsity letters and led undefeated league championship teams in football (running back and linebacker), basketball and baseball. He was team captain in all three sports his senior year and received all-league or higher honors in all three, as well as league MVP in football. Daniel played AAU basketball for six years with the Boston Warriors, winning a state championship and attending six national tournaments. He will attend Brown University in the fall where he’ll play football and basketball.
