The New Jersey District of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) was established in 1930, expanding the territory of the Metropolitan Association, with the aim of promoting standards and uniformity in amateur sports. With a rich history dating back to 1888, the AAU has been a leader in international sports, representing the United States in various International Sports Federations and working closely with the Olympic movement to prepare athletes for the Olympic games.
Since the passage of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, the AAU has focused on providing sports programs for participants of all ages, starting from grassroots level. With over 670,000 participants and more than 100,000 volunteers, the AAU embraces the philosophy of "Sports for All, Forever," ensuring that sports opportunities are accessible to everyone.
