SCUAA- 1 2009

The State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) is one of the inter-collegiate sports associations in the Philippines closely related to UAAP, is the union of six major state colleges and universities in Metro Manila.

The organization was established as the State Colleges Athletic Association (SCAA) in 1953 encompassing the Philippine Normal College (now Philippine Normal University or PNU), Central Luzon Agricultural College (CLAC), (now Central Luzon State University or CLSU), and the Philippine College of Commerce (now Polytechnic University of the Philippines or PUP).

SCAA saw itself transformed into SCUAA in the 1970s when PCC and the Philippine College of Arts and Trades (now Technological University of the Philippines or TUP) a member school since 1959, converted into a university.

Despite many years of challenges in the forefront, SCUAA was able to gain ground in various regions in the country through the creation of regional or satellite SCUAA, hence the establishment of a National SCUAA in the mid-1980s. Two years after, the first National SCUAA was held with member state colleges and universities from Regions I, IV, V, VIII, and NCR participating.


Mariano Marcos State University welcome the delegates from different State Colleges and Universities of Region 1. The 2009 SCUAA I Meet was hosted by Mariano Marcos State Univeristy, where, it held at MMSU Ground and Sports Complex, Batac, Ilocos Norte.

It was indeed a great competition between the five competitive State Colleges and Universities last November 23-27, 2009. "Better luck next time" to the losers and "Exellent" to the winners. Sometimes it loses and it wins, but, we can say that you are a winner too because you do your best to win the game and that shows you are a champion already.



This SCUAA I Meet 2009, a great highly sports competition, which Mariano Marcos State University was the defending champion last year and now won again as the over-all champion of this SCUAA I Meet 2009. DMMMSU and UNP both got the 1st Runner- up, PSU got 2nd Runner- up and ISPSC got the last placer.

In any game or play, sportsmanship is important. Whether you win or loses, must accept of what result that you've got. The important is you did your best and did all the efforts to win the game.
