About AAU
2024 AAU Membership Year
The members of the Special Congress convened and addressed the urgent need to raise membership fees. This body of AAU Leadership took decisive action, and have unanimously approved a new membership fee structure to begin with the 2024 AAU membership year.
Please note, even with this fee raise, the AAU still offers one of the lowest, if not the lowest athlete membership fee, in the youth sports industry today. For little more the the cost of a meal from any fast food franchise, your athletes have the opportunity to participate in 45 AAU sports and multiple opportunities to compete in AAU licensed events. This new membership fee structure will begin in the 2024 AAU membership year.
WHY THIS CHANGE MATTERS
- SURVIVAL: Continue to adapt or the AAU will be no more
- DIVERSIFY: Don't rely on a single event or entity for our existence.
- INVEST: We need to invest $$ into our sport committees
- FUND: Create a sports development fund that sport committees can utilize for growth and expansion
- EVENT HOSTS: Invest in our event operators to support their efforts and assist in their continued success
- FOUNDATION: Ensure that we have a home for years to come
- LEGACY: It is our duty to leave a legacy for the next 100 years
