Welcome to NCAAU Girls Basketball
The AAU Girls' Basketball Program was
established in 1972 as part of the AAU Junior Olympic program.
Prior to 1972, the AAU Men's and Women's Committee conducted
basketball championships, which included a single junior division.
The National Championships started in two age divisions (15u &18u)
with eight teams in each and have expanded to include (8/u
through 19/u) plus the Junior Olympic Games.
The North Carolina Girl’s Basketball program began in 1983 as one event
for the 18U age division held in Charlotte at Garinger High School during the
19U boy’s basketball event. 3 teams competed for the Championship in a
double elimination tournament with a Union County team taking the trophy. In
1990, Bill Christy was chosen to take the Chair from among the four participating
clubs. During his tenure, the program has grown to a maximum of 206 teams participating
in 12 DQT events in which North Carolina teams have attended National Championships
in record numbers.
"'The National AAU Officers
(based upon the economic issues of the country) have
authorized National Sports Committees, the Chair, and
the President to award at large bids for teams that
would be interested in testing the AAU
Brand. This
was done for this year and this year only.'
The North Carolina Girl's Basketball
Sport Director extends that invitation
to any team that may have qualified
for DII, but feels that they can compete
on a DI level, to register
for the DI event in your age group, provided there is still
time for you to do so. We appreciate that the North Carolina
teams like to travel and hope that each of you will have a
fun filled trip wherever you venture this summer." |
