AAU Taekwondo Organizational Structure and Contact Information

The name by which this organization shall be known shall be The United States Amateur Athletic Union Taekwondo Program. The purpose of this program shall be to provide a competitive venue for all Taekwondo practitioners in the United States regardless of their National or International affiliation(s). In doing so, it is the mission of this US/AAU Taekwondo Program to enhance the physical, mental, and moral development of its amateur athletes and to promote good sportsmanship, good citizenship and safety. The AAU Districts are combined into Regions for AAU competition. These Regions are formed in order to reduce the travel distance for athletes competing in Regional competition and to equalize the competition.

Regional Taekwondo Director 

Purpose & Function: It is the aim of the Amateur Athletic Union National Taekwondo Committee to have the Regional Taekwondo Director act as representative of the Executive Committee within their region. The National Sport Chair shall coordinate the activities of the Regional Taekwondo Director. The National Taekwondo Chairman, with the advice of the Executive Committee, shall appoint the Regional Taekwondo Director on a biannual basis. It is the aim of the Amateur Athletic Union National Taekwondo Committee to have an AAU Regional Director in each of the Regions to represent the AAU National Committee and it will be their duty to:

  • Shall ensure that the local Districts conduct annual championships in accordance with the guidelines of the National AAU Taekwondo Committee.

  • Shall work with District Sports Directors so as to facilitate growth and excellence in the sport of Taekwondo within their Region. 

Taekwondo Director Purpose & Function: Districts are divided as per AAU Code. It is the aim of the AAU Taekwondo program to have a District Taekwondo Sport Director in each District. It will be the responsibility of the AAU Taekwondo District Sport Director to disseminate information about AAU Taekwondo for the purpose of growing AAU Taekwondo in their respective Districts and to conduct annual District Qualifying events. This annual event will qualify competitors to compete in the AAU Taekwondo National Championship.  

Technical Rules Committee

Purpose & Function: The Technical Rules Committee shall be a direct working body within the National Committee. The purpose of this committee shall be to consider and adopt competition policy and competition rules. Representation: The National Sport Chair shall appoint the Chair of the Technical Rules Committee. The Technical Rules Committee will consist of the Regional Directors, the National Chief Referee and the Directors of the top ten Districts by number of registered members (as of June 1 of the current competition year).

National Chief Referee
 

 Purpose & Function: The National Chief Referee will work directly with the National Sport Chair. The National Chief Referee (NCR) will work closely with the Official’s Program Administrato(OPA) to insure the highest quality of officiating within the Program. It shall be the responsibility of the NCR to continually evaluate the education and training of all AAU Taekwondo Officials and to continually make recommendations to the National Sport Chair as to how we may enhance that training through innovative, educational programming. Together with the OPA, the NCR shall also be responsible for supervising the official’s staff at all national competitions. The NCR is also charged with developing relationships with other international Taekwondo Programs and to broaden and facilitate officiating opportunities for AAU certified officials abroad. 

Officials Program Administrator

Purpose & Function: The Official Program Administrator will work directly with the National Sport Director and the National Chief Referee. The Officials Program Administrator will work directly with the Clinic Administrators from across the country to process information about those that have attended clinics. Maintain a database of information about Officials and Coaches that will be used in order to conduct local, regional and national competition. Work with Clinic Administrators (CAs) to insure that they are given the information and materials that are needed to train the most highly informed Officials in the country. Update the Officials Database with information on attendance and upgrades of Officials at local, regional and national competition. Compile a list of those that are certified for use by those conducting sanctioned events. Work with the National Executive Committee to make sure that the Officials’ Program is being run effectively. Prepare Official Badges and Coaches Passes with ID photos for those that register to participate in National Events.
