STATEMENT FROM THE NCAA
BEGINNING FALL 2010 – WOMEN'S TEAMS MUST COMPLY WITH ADJOINING STATE RULE – In April 2010, legislation was adopted that would require women's teams participating in an NCAA-certified event to meet the same residency restrictions that have applied to the men's teams since 2005. The effective date of the legislation is September 1, 2010. In that regard, fall 2010 events will be required to apply the legislation when allowing teams to participate in those events. This means that all teams participating in NCAA–certified fall events must be made up of individuals that reside either within the same state as the team's official address or within a geographically adjoining state AND with not more than three prospects from adjoining states participating on any one team. Additional information about this requirement can be found with the following links:
• Adjoining State Policy.
• Application of the Metro Area Rule
• Metro Area Maps
As a result of this legislation the AAU will follow the NCAA Adjoining State Rule at all AAU events that are certified by the NCAA.
The AAU, in 2011, will certify the following National Championships and Super Showcase events with the NCAA.
