Southeast Scottish Amateur Athletics

Southeast Scottish Amateur Athletics Association (SSAAA) is the largest governing body for Scottish Heavy Athletics east of the Rockies. Founded in 1995, our organization currently sanctions or provides support for over twenty-five Scottish Games and Celtic Festivals in the Southeastern United States. Our goals are (1) to offer support and training for the amateur athlete, (2) to foster the relationship of the athlete with his Clan and other aspects of the Games, and (3) to provide news and information regarding amateur Highland Games competition.

Southeast Scottish Amateur Athletics Association provides safe and official Scottish Heavy Athletics for host organizations that want the highest quality athletic competition for their festivals. SSAAA provides officials, equipment and publicity for every sanctioned Game. Through our network of member athletes across the country, we can offer any level of competition sought by the host organization from a standard amateur meet to specialized team events. SSAAA's current special events include The North-South Challenge Cup, Scotland vs USA Team Challenge and The National Caber Challenge.
