The UKC Youth National Championship was established in 2001 and is held each summer for the purpose of fostering and promoting youth activity in the coonhound sport. The highlight of the event is the Qualified Round on Saturday open to those kids who placed at a Youth State Championship event during the previous year. Four Continuing Education Tuition Prizes are awarded to the top four kids/hounds placing in this round. Only those youth age 17 and under at the time of the National Championship, regardless of the child’s age upon qualifying,are eligible to compete.
