UNITED STATES COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PARTNERS WITH PRESTOSPORTS, USCAA WEB SITE REDESIGN UNDERWAY
ROCKVILLE, Md. - The United States Collegiate Athletic Association, a national organization of small colleges which focuses on the student-athlete, has partnered with PrestoSports for innovative web solutions. The USCAA administration and members of the PrestoSports team have embarked on the process of creating the new web site which will serve as a central location for the association's news, statistics, awards, standings, polls and administrative information.
"The USCAA is very excited to be partnering with PrestoSports. We are impressed with the work that they have done in the past, and see this as a great opportunity to improve the image of the USCAA, and give our members a product that is easily manageable and aesthetically pleasing. We are confident that the new website will be something that our staff, member athletic directors, coaches, student-athletes, and fans will all be proud of," says USCAA Commissioner Bill Casto.
Established in June, 2001, the USCAA holds national championships, names All-Americans, Scholar-Athletes and promotes USCAA member schools.

"With our experience as the web site solution for over 20 conferences, we are confident we can meet the unique challenges for this association. It's an honorable organization that services thousands of student-athletes and we're happy they've chosen to become a part of our network to help meet their goals."
