Several tournaments claim to be AAU, but are not sanctioned through the AAU office. These tournaments do not carry AAU's insurance, nor do they adhere to AAU policies and procedures.

Ohio AAU State Championships (the only REAL and BEST event to Determine Ohio’s true State Champions). We’d also like to thank the folks at McGee’s Courts 4 Sports for allowing us to move the event to their facility as this year’s 9U-11U Grade School age State Championships exceeded initial expectations for participants. Our appreciation also goes out to all of the Cincinnati Heat Premier Volunteers and South Western Ohio Licensed Officials for their efforts. Finally, we appreciate the support given to us by Ohio AAU District Officers for their volunteer efforts on behalf of girls basketball and especially Ohio Governor Ken Yablonsky for collecting this years’ entries and Secretary Bill Kroth for checking in teams Friday night, and presenting Medals to our Champions Sunday.

We hope that all of you enjoyed your time with us and continue to support the AAU Brand where the admission is kept to a minimum, the facilities are great, and the quality of each game is maximum since the girls have longer warm ups, play more minutes, and longer halftimes by playing AAUJ.

We also wish all our teams the best of luck at Nationals … may no team be left behind … compete in either DI, DII, or DIII AAU National Championships … the best way to culminate the 2010 AAU season.
