The United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) is a national organization for the intercollegiate athletic programs of 72 mostly small colleges, including community/junior colleges, across the United States. The USCAA holds 15 national championships and 2 national invitationals annually.[1]
In 1966, the USCAA was founded as the National Little College Athletic Association (NLCAA), primarily to sponsor a national basketball tournament for small colleges and junior colleges.[2]
In the 1970s and through the 1980s, as the NLCAA, the USCAA began adding more sports.[2]
In 1989, the NLCAA changed its name to the National Small College Athletic Association (NSCAA).[2]
In 2001, the USCAA adopted its current name.[2]
The USCAA sanctions competition in eight men's and seven women's sports:[1]
Postseason national championships are held in all sports except football, which has few participating teams.[1]
