Since 1888, the AAU has raised tomorrow’s leaders on today’s playgrounds. The AAU is not just about sports. For every athlete who attains professional status after AAU, there are hundreds more who apply their AAU experience elsewhere. What they gain is much more valuable than athletic glory. Through participation in AAU sport programs, athletes acquire the mental acuity, emotional maturity and social tools necessary to succeed in the classroom and in the world beyond.

AAU Volleyball is committed to supporting our athletes through quality training of our referees and officials. AAU provides a variety of referee education resources and certifications supporting the approximate 700,000 members across the country.  In 2019, Volleyball was the largest sport of participation within AAU, having 160,000+ members!

The AAU Volleyball official website has been created to support the training of qualified referees for competition. You will find resources for learning the rules of the game and official training curriculum.
