AAU Nationals,

About the event

AAU Nationals is a premier multi-discipline national championship event bringing together elite youth and amateur athletes from across the United States to compete in:

• AAU Scholastic Duals

• AAU Grappling National Championships

• AAU Judo National Championships

• AAU Taekwondo National Championships

• AAU Karate National Championships

• Open Sport Karate

Held at the Ft. Lauderdale Broward County Convention Center, this multi-day event spans late June through July 4th and attracts athletes, coaches, families, officials, and spectators from across the country.

AAU Nationals represents the highest level of youth competition in these disciplines — where dedication, discipline, and national recognition meet. For many athletes, this is the pinnacle event of their season and a stepping stone toward collegiate and international competition.

This event creates a high-energy, family-driven championship atmosphere that combines competition, clinics, finals, and national-level exposure.

Why should you sponsor?

AAU Nationals offers sponsors direct access to a highly targeted and engaged audience that includes:

• Competitive youth athletes (elementary through collegiate levels)

• Parents and families who actively invest in sports, travel, equipment, and training

• Coaches, club owners, and program directors

• Martial arts schools and regional organizations

Sponsor Benefits Include:

• Multi-day exposure at a national championship event

• Brand visibility inside a major convention center venue

• Direct engagement through booths, product demos, or sampling

• Social media and digital promotion tied to championship coverage

• Association with discipline, excellence, leadership, and youth development

• National brand alignment with AAU USA

Because the event runs across multiple championships over nearly two weeks, sponsors gain extended exposure — not just a single-day impression.
