The United States Collegiate Athletic Association

The United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) is an organization that brings small colleges together not just for athletic competition, but more importantly, it is an organization bringing colleges together who have common goals and perspectives in higher education.

Established in June, 2001, the USCAA provides a national organization to hold national championships, name all-americans & scholar-athletes, and promote USCAA member schools. The USCAA was incorporated to provide an opportunity for smaller college members to compete on an equal level of competition with schools of like size and athletic programs.

The USCAA game plan is to produce true winners: a game plan that will carry an individual through his or her entire life. The game plan is devised to draw out the student-athlete’s greatest potential — body, mind and spirit.

The USCAA believes:

• That athletics are a means to an end, not an end in themselves.
• That the process is as important as the performance.
• That the person (student-athlete) is more important than the program.

Athletics in a small college are unique experiences which prepare men and women for a life of meaningful work and service. The athletic experience provides a dynamic growth process for learning discipline, team work, leadership, and mutual respect where the student-athlete and his/her preparation for life is more important to the coaches and the athletic administration than won-loss records and championships.

For the student-athlete who wants to be a part of a team that competes on a regional and national level but realizes the importance of his education, the USCAA is the right game plan. For the spectator who wants a game that can draw enthusiastic responses, but wants to know the participating teams are living beyond the outcome of the game, the USCAA is the right game plan.
