Amateur Athletic Union (AAU):
The AAU Junior Olympic Games, in its 54-year history, is celebrated as the nation’s largest multi-sport event. From humble beginnings
in 1967 to present times, the popularity of the Games has exploded with representatives from all 50 states and several U.S. territories.
2020 will be the sixth time the AAU Junior Olympic Games will be held in Florida, and the second time the Games will be hosted on the
Space Coast in Brevard County. Other Florida cities include Jacksonville (1984), St. Petersburg (1990), Tallahassee (1991), Space Coast (1994) and Orlando (2000).
The AAU is excited to hold the 54th AAU Junior Olympic Games in the Space Coast of Florida area. Originally scheduled for Hampton
Roads, Virginia, officials in Brevard County quickly stepped up to host the Games when the decision was made to move the event due to
athletic facility availability concerns in the state of Virginia.
The 2020 AAU Junior Olympic Games will showcase youth athletes in more than 15 sports competing for the chance to bring home a
gold medal. New sports from our partners at the Florida Sports Foundation and Sunshine State Games will also be introduced for the
first time.
New for 2020, the AAU has waived the qualification component to open the events to as many athletes as possible especially those in
the state of Florida.
For those who can’t attend in person, Space Coast Daily, the event media sponsor, will provide event information throughout the games, as well as live stream events and spotlight select individuals and team sports throughout the games.
The AAU is proud to work with our partners at the Florida Sports Foundation and the Sunshine State Games, the official sports promotion and development organization for the State of Florida; and the business and sports community of Brevard County to present the one-of-a-kind multi-sport event to athletes across the state of Florida and the United States.
