The United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) is a national organization and sanctioning body for amateur soccer in the United States. It consists of 54 state organizations as well as regional and national leagues. The USL's Premier Development League and the National Premier Soccer League are USASA-affiliated but are designed to promote a higher lever of competition than the state organizations. USASA also affiliates the Women's Premier Soccer League and the USL's W-League, two of the top women's leagues in the nation. With over 250,000 adult members within its leagues and teams, the USASA is the largest division of organized soccer at an adult level in the United States.
