Welcome
The Dwarf Athletic Association of America is a nonprofit organization created in 1985 to develop, promote, and provide quality amateur level athletic competition opportunities for dwarf athletes in the United States. DAAA athletes compete in track & field athletics, basketball, boccia, swimming, table tennis, badminton, volleyball and soccer.
DAAA is a self-sustaining organization that models fair competition and competitive excellence. Whether recreational, developmental or elite competitions, DAAA provides the context for each athlete's potential to be taken seriously and provides an opportunity for each athlete to be their best. You will find information about athletic events, competition records, contacts and more information about dwarfism, sports resources, and how you can participate with and support our athletes and our organization.

Thank you to our Team USA Sponsors!
Thank you to our sponsors! Sponsorships ensure that DAAA athletes have the opportunity to participate in developmental and elite athletic competitions at this year’s World Dwarf Games as well as year round.
The World Dwarf Games is the only opportunity for dwarf athletes to compete eye-to-eye in a competitive environment. Most children, youth and adults in the United States have numerous opportunities to participate in sports. These same opportunities are not always available to people with dwarfism.
