The AAU Junior Olympics are known as the largest national multi-sport event for youth in the United States. Five hundred twenty-three athletes competed in the inaugural AAU Junior Olympic Games in Washington, D.C. in 1967. Since then, the AAU Junior Olympic Games have been conducted in 19 states and 30 cities across the United States. The AAU Junior Olympic Games were previously held in Des Moines in 1995 and 2004.
Volunteers are needed for this event. If you would like to help, volunteers or volunteer groups can sign up for one shift, a full day or an entire event at www.DesMoinesSports.com.
