Welcome to North Carolina AAU Taekwondo
Welcome to North Carolina AAU Taekwondo, the state-level online resource created to help athletes, parents, coaches, clubs, and officials find the information they need to train, compete, certify, volunteer, and grow within the AAU Taekwondo community in North Carolina.
This website was built with one clear purpose: to make it easier for our North Carolina Taekwondo community to stay connected.
Whether you are an athlete looking for your next tournament, a parent trying to understand how competition works, a coach searching for development opportunities, a club wanting to get more involved, or an official looking for upcoming events, this site is designed to help you take the next step.
Why This Website Was Created
North Carolina has a strong and growing Taekwondo community. Across the state, athletes are training, coaches are developing competitors, clubs are building programs, parents are supporting their children, and officials are helping events run smoothly.
But for many people, finding the right information has not always been easy.
Families often ask where to find upcoming events. New athletes want to know how to prepare for competition. Coaches want more opportunities for education and collaboration. Clubs want to know how to host events, promote their programs, or connect with other schools. Officials and volunteers want to know where they are needed.
North Carolina AAU Taekwondo was created to help bring those pieces together in one place.
This site does not replace the national AAU Taekwondo website or official AAU membership systems. Instead, it serves as a North Carolina-focused hub that helps explain what is happening in our state, where to find opportunities, and how to get involved.
What You Can Find on the NC AAU Taekwondo Website
The goal of this website is to be practical. It should help you find information quickly and understand what action to take next.
Here are some of the main areas you will find on the site.
Events and Competition Opportunities
The Events section is where athletes, parents, coaches, and clubs can find upcoming North Carolina AAU Taekwondo events, including tournaments, seminars, camps, clinics, meetings, and development opportunities.
Event pages may include details such as dates, locations, schedules, registration links, eligibility information, and contact information.
For athletes, this makes it easier to plan your competition season.
For parents, it helps you know what is coming and what your athlete needs.
For coaches and clubs, it gives you a central place to send families for accurate event information.
Resources for Athletes
The For Athletes section is designed to help competitors train, prepare, and grow.
Athletes can use this section to access training resources, competition checklists, development opportunities, scholarship information, upcoming camps, and helpful links for progressing in AAU Taekwondo.
This section is especially useful for athletes who want to become more serious about competition but are not sure where to begin.
Resources for Parents
Parents play a major role in the success of young athletes. The For Parents section helps families understand competition, membership, event preparation, tournament expectations, and how to support their athlete in a positive way.
This section is built for parents who may be new to AAU Taekwondo and want clear answers without having to guess.
You will find guidance on topics such as preparing for your first event, understanding what to bring, finding a club, applying for scholarships, and staying informed about district updates.
Resources for Coaches
The For Coaches section is meant to support instructors, school owners, and team coaches across North Carolina.
Coaches can find information about events, training and development, certification support, athlete resources, coach recognition, and opportunities to collaborate with the district.
A strong coach network helps create stronger athletes, better events, and a better experience for everyone involved.
Resources for Clubs
The For Clubs section helps Taekwondo schools and club leaders get more involved in North Carolina AAU Taekwondo.
Clubs can use this section to learn about club resources, directory listings, hosting opportunities, event promotion, club development, and ways to connect with other schools across the state.
The more connected our clubs are, the more opportunities we can create for athletes.
Scholarships, Awards, and Recognition
North Carolina AAU Taekwondo is also committed to recognizing and supporting those who are making a positive impact.
The Scholarships page provides information about athletic and academic scholarship opportunities for eligible Taekwondo practitioners.
The Awards page highlights recognition opportunities such as Coach of the Year and Athlete of the Year.
These programs are designed to celebrate leadership, effort, achievement, sportsmanship, academic growth, and service to the Taekwondo community.
Black Belt Certification Support
The Black Belt Certification page helps individuals and clubs learn more about available certification pathways, including AAU Taekwondo black belt certification and Kukkiwon certification.
Because every athlete, instructor, and school may have different goals, this page is meant to help people understand their options and begin the process that best fits their needs.
Final requirements, approvals, fees, and official processing should always be verified through the appropriate official AAU or Kukkiwon channels.
Volunteer Opportunities
Strong events and programs require strong volunteers.
The Volunteer page allows parents, athletes, coaches, officials, and community members to express interest in helping with events, registration, staging, awards, media, committees, youth leadership, and other district initiatives.
Volunteering is one of the best ways to serve the sport, support athletes, and build a stronger North Carolina Taekwondo community.
