AAU and ACO Unite for the 2024 Junior World Cornhole Championships Owensboro KY July 19-20

Since 1888, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) has been nurturing champions. This summer, the AAU is excited to partner with the American Cornhole Organization (ACO) to present the Junior World Championships of Cornhole for youth athletes.

Scheduled for July 19 and 20 at the Owensboro Convention Center in Kentucky, this event offers young athletes the chance to elevate their cornhole skills and compete at a higher level. Admission is FREE for all visitors!

Both boys and girls will have the opportunity to earn an ACO World Ranking and vie for an AAU/ACO world title. Athletes will be categorized into age groups: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U. The event will feature Singles, Doubles Tier 1 and Tier 2, and Quads tournaments, with winners receiving medals, jerseys, and ribbons.

Additionally, one standout player from each division will receive a custom award for the best overall performance across all three tournaments (Singles, Doubles, and Quads). The competition kicks off on Friday, July 19, with round-robin play for the Singles tournament in the morning. In the afternoon, the top 16 teams in Doubles Tier 1 and Tier 2 will compete in a double-elimination format. The evening will feature a Quads double-elimination tournament, where a Tier 1 team will be randomly paired with a Tier 2 team. Champions will be crowned, and a special challenge will be revealed on Saturday, July 20.
