About the AAU Junior Olympics…

Every year, 10,000+ juniors from across the United States compete in over 20 different sports at the AAU Junior Olympics. The Table Tennis events are scheduled for August 8 – 10, 2002. An opening ceremony (much like the one at the Olympic Games) will be held on August 7. A medal at these events is a great 'resume-builder' and USATT pays careful attention to the results. It's also a great experience for young athletes to meet their peers, have some fun, and become competition-ready in a low-pressure setting. The USATT National Junior Team Championships and the USATT Junior National Championships are held concurrently. Here's a great chance to come out and make an impact for Table Tennis and have a great time yourself. Make your play for the medal stand and an AAU Junior Olympic Medal or a USATT Junior National Title, this summer in Knoxville, Tennessee.
