The AAU Multi-events Program is directed toward developing progressive continuity for athletics while providing exposure to competitive multi-events. The Program encourages multi-events programs and events at all levels of competition: Association, Regional, and National. The AAU Multi-events Program is conducted under current AAU Code guidelines and follows the competitive rules of the NGB, and as outlined in the 2000 AAU Athletics Handbook.
