The 47th AAU Junior National Volleyball Championships will be held June 16 - 28 with numerous safeguards in place including no spectators and temperature checks to help protect all participants and officials.

The global spread of COVID-19 ("Coronavirus") has irrevocably changed the way we conduct ourselves in daily life. Personally and professionally, we have all felt the impact of the pandemic. Moving forward, there will be a new normal in how we live and work.
We have already seen businesses adjust -- dine-in restaurants have shifted to delivery service, schools have switched to online classes, grocery stores have installed plastic shield guards at check-out stations -- all to safeguard the health and well-being of those patronizing their businesses. Just as importantly, to allow those companies to retain their workforce and help keep roofs over their families' heads.
Our country is in crisis -- many businesses have laid off or furloughed their personnel. We have seen a record number of people applying for unemployment -- 22 million and growing.
The AAU is no different -- since 1888, we have run events for amateur athletes across the country. And, for the safety and well-being of those athletes, parents, and coaches, we have temporarily suspended all licensed AAU event programming since March 12th. This has been a hardship for our event operators but one we feel is the right thing to do for the health of all who play AAU.
Recently, the federal government announced guidelines for state and local governments to re-open America. As local and state governments start sharing plans for re-opening their states in phases, the AAU does the same.
The 47th AAU Junior National Volleyball Championships will be held June 16 - 28 with numerous safeguards in place to help protect all participants and officials. We do not make this decision lightly. This event brings significant economic impact to the Central Florida area -- hotels, restaurants, and other local area businesses -- all benefit from this event as it has become a staple of the local community each year.
As the safety of the participants is our highest priority, AAU Volleyball will follow the recommendations of the CDC, state, county and local authorities as well as implementing several additional precautionary measures.
*******No Spectators - No International Teams - Face Covering*****
To limit the number of people in the facility, spectators will not be allowed. Each team can consist of 15 players, 5 bench personnel and 10 chaperones. In addition, each match will have one referee. Teams will need to provide the down referee. Due to travel concerns, there will be no international teams. We encourage some type of face covering being worn whenever possible.
