Welcome to the web site of the Mass Blue Devil's.

The Blue Devil's Boy's' Basketball Program was established in 2000 as part of the AAU Junior Olympic program. This year we have expanded and added the Lady Blue Devil's to our Basketball Program.

In their first season the12U Lady Blue Devil's Basketball Program competed in 5 tournaments and finished with a 16-4 overall record. Starting in the 2008-09 season the Blue Devil's will expand both the GIRL'S and BOY'S programs by added new age groups from 10U programs up to 17U High School programs.
