About Us -The UAA Story
UMMAH Athletics Association
Play with Purpose. Grow with Honor.
At Ummah Athletics Association, we blend sports with faith to nurture the whole athlete. Founded by Muslim parents, we envisioned a space where youth could train with excellence while staying true to their
Islamic values and identity.
Our programs, from soccer and flag football to basketball, fitness sessions, and community events, go beyond physical strength. They instill respect, unity, and character, building brotherhood and sisterhood
both on and off the field.
We’re here to raise a generation of strong, confident, faith-centered youth athletes who thrive
in sports and in life.
