In 1995, AAHRA and the Youth Sports Committee entered into a partnership with the Alabama Sports Festival (ASF). Created in 1982 for the purpose of providing quality Olympic-style athletic competition for the citizens of Alabama, they bring expertise in tournament organization, fund-raising and a similar philosophy in reaching the youth of our state. The ASF has over 7,000 Alabama athletes (including the physically handicapped and seniors) compete in over 20 sports during their annual games. This non-profit organization has been recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as being a program of excellence that encourages youth to maintain a healthy and wholesome lifestyle. The ASF is committed to reversing youth crime and violence, insists on academic greatness, promotes athletic achievement and participates in the war on drugs. These priorities mirror the initiatives set out by the AAHRA Youth Sports Committee. With the wealth of skills and talents assembled, we look forward to meeting the challenges that our youth face today!
