AAU Membership | AAU Registration
What is the Amateur Athletic Union?
AAU, a nonprofit sports association established in 1888, is among the biggest volunteer, multi-sport organizations worldwide for amateur athletes. AAU originated in the desire to develop, enhance and standardize physical fitness and sports programs for non-professionals. The organization currently boasts about 700,000 participants throughout America and the world.
Over the years, AAU has helped athletes train for the Olympic Games. It has served as the U.S. representative at international sports conferences. Since 2019, the organization has also administered the Presidential Youth Fitness Program in schools throughout America.
An AAU membership lasts for one year. When it expires, you must complete a renewal to maintain eligibility for AAU play. Whenever you want to confirm your renewal date, use the AAU membership lookup tool. Types of AAU registration include:
- Youth AAU membership for all sports
- An annual adult membership for a specific sport
- AAU membership for coaches
- AAU membership for team administrators
- AAU membership for clubs
Age groups in the AAU youth division start at eight and under. They go as high as 18 years old, with a separate division for each age in between. The skills, sportsmanship and competitive experience of athletes who have grown up playing AAU sports may help them win college scholarships. The membership cost starts at $14.
Once you complete AAU registration and submit your annual AAU membership cost, your child qualifies to join an existing AAU club or to get together with others to form a new team. Your child’s team will compete against other AAU teams in your region. Depending on the sport, play goes year-round, unlike high school when you can only play a sport in season. Because athletes get far more practice and competitive experience during a year of sports, they often acquire skills faster than their high school athletics counterparts.
Also, AAU events provide opportunities for clubs and individuals to shine. For example, an AAU track and field event such as The Southwest Indoor Championship brings various clubs together for a higher level of competition and more meaningful awards.
This is not to say that AAU members cannot participate in high school sports. They are free to play on their school teams too. Many take a break from competition during school sports seasons. Some athletes, with the approval of their coaches, do both.
What are the different levels of the AAU sports organization?
Children from 8 and under to 18 can compete in the youth division once they get their AAU membership. The youth membership covers all the sports, so kids can play as many as they have time for.
The adult AAU membership is for players over 18 years of age. Unlike the youth membership, adults must specify the sport they intend to participate in. They must have a separate membership for each sport they want to join. You can also obtain an AAU registration as a coach or as a team administrator.
Clubs or teams must also register for membership and AAU renewal annually. First, the coach and adults involved in running the club must be members. There are three levels of AAU club membership. Level one covers:
- One youth or adult club membership
- Participation in play
- Voting power at meetings
- The ability to apply for practice insurance coverage
Level two includes the above, plus the ability to host a sanctioned sports event. In addition to all of the level one and two benefits plus a combination AAU membership for a youth and adult club, level three provides the ability to apply for tax-exempt status and to collect donations.
The annual club membership cost starts at $30 per year for a youth level one team. It tops out at $320 for a level three adult and youth combination membership. If you are unsure of the type of membership you have, use the AAU membership lookup tool on the AAU website.
What are some of the sports included in a youth AAU membership?
AAU membership gives youth members access to 35 sports programs, including:
- Boys’ basketball
- Girls’ basketball
- Men’s and women’s volleyball
- AAU baseball
- AAU track and field
- AAU wrestling
- AAU football
- AAU Hockey
- Martial arts
- AAU Swimming
- AAU volleyball
Some of these sports contain sub-categories. For example, beach volleyball and indoor AAU volleyball come under the general heading of AAU volleyball membership. AAU volleyball is quite competitive, and college recruiters take note of an AAU volleyball membership on a high school athlete’s NCSA online profile. The same holds true for AAU wrestling.
AAU volleyball tournaments can lead your child’s team to national tournaments or even the West Coast AAU Junior Olympics Games. The latter is a two- to three-day tournament featuring the most competitive clubs in AAU volleyball nationwide.
AAU track and field includes indoor and outdoor meets leading to national championship tournaments and the AAU Junior Olympic Games. Individuals who win district and regional AAU track and field championships advance in their events to national competitions.
The AAU Track and Field Indoor National Championships include the top male and female ages 8-18 qualifiers in such indoor AAU track and field events as:
- 60-yard dash
- 60 hurdles
- 200, 400, 800, 1,500 and 3,000-yard races
- 4 x 200 relays
- High jump
- Long jump
- Pole vault
- Shot put
- Triple jump
AAU wrestling enhances participants’ progress toward national competition with both youth national tournaments and AAU Junior Olympics platforms. Boys and girls compete in separation divisions. AAU wrestling tournament types include elementary, middle school and high school events.
Clubs also provide boys and girls with opportunities to experience AAU wrestling at its most competitive. As they progress through high school and look ahead to college sports, AAU wrestling experience is among the top items recruiters are looking for in selecting the most skilled athletes for college sports scholarships.
Whether AAU hockey, AAU martial arts, AAU football, AAU basketball, AAU baseball or another sport is one your child excels in, getting them into sports provides them with a valuable experience. Honing skills, learning sportsmanship and laying the foundation for future NCAA team play are all top benefits of AAU athletics.
How do you pick an AAU team?
One way to start checking out clubs in your area is to get a list of AAU clubs from the AAU Club Locator. Use your AAU login information to get access. Then, you simply key in your sport and your zip code to find basketball teams, for example, or martial arts events.
Some teams travel more frequently than others. Before choosing a team, find out how often your athlete will be on the road and how often the clubs play at home. Depending on your lifestyle, this information may be critical to your sign up and the benefit of athletics to your child. Keep in mind, though, that to get the most from playing AAU sports like AAU volleyball, travel to championship tournaments is a given.
Regional tournaments and national championships take place throughout the U.S. and beyond. The 2020 AAU hockey Capitol Cup took place in Lansing, Mich., for instance, while the North American Championships were held in London, Ontario. With AAU clubs playing throughout the world, your team may occasionally play far from home.
How does AAU pick coaches?
When coaches register for AAU membership, they must complete a mandatory Positive Coaching Alliance class. These classes are sport-specific and include coaching psychology, best practices of elite coaches and more. Some of the contributors to these coach certification courses are Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders, Olympic gymnast Bart Conner and NBA championship coach Phil Jackson.
Each AAU coach who successfully completes the class receives an AAU certification. If in doubt, you can check the membership lookup for the certified coaches list to confirm that your team’s coach has the AAU sanction.
The coach must abide by the AAU rules for each sport and communicate those rules to membership players. Each sport’s rules are also available for parents and players online. For example, you can view the AAU rulebook for Taekwondo here.
Who can host AAU events?
AAU clubs that have a Level Two or Level Three AAU membership and a registered AAU coach are eligible to host competitive events. It may seem daunting, but AAU clubs get some benefits from doing the organizational work for a tournament, such as:
- Banking 100 percent of the entry fees
- Opportunities to get sponsors
- Free event publicity on websites and social media sites
AAU membership registration details
It is a simple process to get an individual membership for AAU. Youth membership, at under $20 for the year for all sports, is affordable. Adult athlete memberships apply to one sport only, and the fee may vary according to the sport, starting at $14 and going up to $30. All memberships run from the first of September to the 31st of August. You can register for membership or enter your AAU login as an existing member on the AAU membership page.

Start a Team
How To Start A Team
REMEMBER THAT THE AAU IS AN EVENT OPERATOR AND DOES NOT ORGANIZE/SPONSOR THE TEAMS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PLAYERS AND THEIR PARENTS/GUARDIANS TO FIND OR START TEAMS. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE OFFERED AS A PATTERN TO BE USED AT THE ORGANIZER’S DISCRETION. THE AAU DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY PARTICULAR ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS OR CLAIM TO HAVE EXACT KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO START OR FIND A TEAM.
Important Considerations
The four most important considerations in forming a team are developing a philosophy for your team, finding committed players, finding a coach, and finding a practice facility.
Develop the Philosophy
Will it be a participation team where everyone gets equal playing time or a performance team where playing time must be earned? If the coach and the players don’t buy into the philosophy of the team, it will eventually lead to problems and hard feelings.
Selection of Players
Will you run area wide or local tryouts? Will the tryouts be open to everyone or by invitation only? Are tryouts necessary or will you just select your team? You will need to decide how many players you will have on the roster. Will you take athletes in addition to the roster size you agreed on? How will you divide the cost for all the activities of the club?
Purchase membership
To participate in AAU events, you are required to register the club and all the members who will participate in the AAU events you enter. The club membership comes in three levels. Level I gives you the opportunity to participate in AAU events at $30. Level II gives you the same opportunity, but you may also host AAU sanctioned events, if approved. The cost is $60. Level III is available for the club that is not incorporated and would like the benefit of 501©3 designation for contributions. That cost is $300 and is only available online. The other two levels can be purchased online, through the District Registrar, or through the National office. The website is www.aausports.org. Either click on JOIN NOW to use a credit card, or click on APPLICATIONS to download the form to mail to your District address or the National Headquarters address in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Keep in mind that your District office may be quicker than the National Headquarters, but the online registration process is the quickest.
Once you have the club registered, you receive a CLUB NUMBER or CLUB CODE. Go back to the same Internet locations and register each individual member (athlete or non-athlete) using the complete CLUB CODE you received with the club membership. You have a choice of memberships. The regular athlete is $14 where accident coverage is in AAU events only. The AB (added benefit) athlete is $16 where accident coverage is in both AAU and non-AAU events, under certain circumstances. The regular non-athlete fee is $14, the AB non-athlete fee is $16. A non-athlete is any adult who will be working with the athlete members at any time during practice or events. Also, any club contact listed on the club membership must have the non-athlete membership. Be sure to print everything as requested.
Keep in mind that your particular sport may request that you register online. Once registered you may look for events to participate in. Check out your sport website through the District website, www.ncaau.org, and the National website, www.aausports.org.
Develop a Budget
Once you have registered your club and it’s members, you need to determine the cost of the events you want to enter and how to divide the cost of tournament entry and travel. Be sure to include every expense that you will need to complete the list of events that you are participating in. Keep in mind that you must pay to enter the event, get there, stay there, and eat while you are there. You can get a sponsor, solicit donations, host a tournament, or use fundraising companies.
If you find a local business or individual to sponsor your team, that business or individual must use the money spent as an expense rather than a deduction. If you wish to solicit donations from larger businesses, then you must be a Level III club member and use the 501©3 designation.
If you wish to host an AAU sanctioned event, then you must contact your Sport Director to verify the dates you wish to host your event. Some Sport Directors want to okay the facilities as well as the dates. Once you have received that okay, you must sanction the event. The event can be sanctioned either online, or by downloading the application and sending it to the District Registrar. The website location is www.aausports.org and click on Event Sanction. Keep in mind that the event will need the approval of the Sport Director before it can be completed.
Finally, you may use a fund-raising professional to meet your budget. This company is a aNational Sponsors of the AAU. You can contact ESPN the Magazine at https://proxy.espn.go.com/coaches or 1-888-530-3776.
If you need further assistance in setting up your organization, you may call your District office at 1-800-AAU4-4USA (1-800-228-4872).

On Tuesday, an audio recording appeared on the Internet, possibly indicating corruption in the presidential elections of the Russian Basketball Federation.
During the 15 minutes of audio recording, two people can be heard talking. It is assumed that these votes may belong to the ex-head of the RFB Sergey Chernov and the president of PBC CSKA Andrey Vatutin.
During the conversation, the possibility of changing the result of the upcoming voting in the RSE elections is being discussed. One of the participants in the dialogue is called "Sergey Viktorovich", the other - "Andrey".
In particular, while listening to the audio recording, you can hear the following: “What guarantees did you speak about?” asks “Viktorych.” “About my pension, financial guarantees? And how will these finances manifest? run away somewhere after the blown up bridge. To which follows the answer of “Andrey”: “I don’t want to talk about it on the phone. I think that it is in your power to deploy it. And what they will say there, and how it will all look, this, in my opinion, is the second question. What we talked about still applies."
Vatutin and Chernov - in the center. Photo by ITAR-TASS Well-known basketball expert Yevgeny Gomelsky commented on the incident in a conversation with an RBC-Sport correspondent. “The very fact that this conversation exists is already extremely unpleasant and incorrect,” the expert noted. “You need to be able to lose in such situations. Even the fact that Abrosimova did not congratulate Anikeeva on her victory after the elections speaks volumes. You see, you need to be able to lose with dignity!”
At the same time, CSKA President Andrey Vatutin does not answer the calls of the RBC-Sport correspondent.
Recall that on August 2, the election of the president of the RSE was held, in which Yulia Anikeeva won, whose headquarters included Sergey Chernov. Anikeeva received 97 votes in the elections, 63 people voted for Abrosimova.
Abrosimova's chances, despite the support of the Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko, initially looked small. Nevertheless, the heads of the Moscow and Perm federations Viktor Dvurechensky and Sergey Boguslavsky, as well as Andrey Fetisov and Andrey Vatutin spoke in favor of Abrosimova.
