USABA One goal that USABA has is to increase the

number of youth who more consistently participate in local community-based programs. In order to do this, youth who may be in their home schools need to have access to a wide variety of sports that are offered through USABA. From this variety of sports, it is hoped they would determine which sport(s) they want to pursue and become more involved at the state, regional, national and for some; the international level.
