The United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) is a national organization for amateur soccer in the United States. It consists of 55 state organizations as well as national, regional and state leagues.


The American Soccer League, National Premier Soccer League, Premier Development League and United Premier Soccer League are USASA national affiliates designed to promote a higher lever of competition than the state organizations. USASA also affiliates the Women's Premier Soccer League, one of the unrecognized second division leagues below the fully professional NWSL.


USASA has over 250,000 adult members within its leagues and teams.
