The Amateur Athletic Union, widely known as the AAU, was formed in
1888 to sponsor
US teams and players in a wide variety of
sports, and has sponsored many tournaments throughout the
United States. Its goal is to help athletes get noticed, to direct them toward a good college or into the right environment in their community. The summit AAU events are the annual
AAU Junior Olympic Games. Until the 1970s it was the recognized governing body for many prominent sports in the United States, such as
swimming and
track and field, but it gave up its jurisdiction with the decline of
amateurism.
