Since 1888, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) has hosted events for amateur athletes across the country. While events are the AAU’s business, event operators are the heart of the AAU.  The continued success of the AAU organization is predicated on your tireless efforts in providing amateur event opportunities to athletes in the United States and beyond.

As always, the health, well-being and safety of those who participate in AAU events is our highest priority.

These are unprecedented times and we sincerely appreciate the undue hardship suspending AAU event programming temporarily has had on our valued AAU event operators.  Moving forward, the AAU is committed to providing support and resources minimize the impact to AAU event operators.

As additional resource-related information becomes available, it will be posted to this page.
