About the AAU
Amateur Athletic Union
Founded in 1888, the Amateur Athletic Union is a non-profit
organization that conducts competition in many sports as well as track and
field and cross country. Prior to passage of the Amateur
Sports Act of 1978, the AAU was primarily involved in preparing athletes
for the Olympic games. Since 1978, the AAU has provided programs for
participants of all ages under the motto, "Sports for All,
Forever," with 500,000 participants and 50,000 volunteers currently
active.
The AAU is divided into 57 associations; together they sanction 10,000
local events and 250 national championships in 34 sports.
