Who We Are
Founded in 1985, the Dwarf Athletic Association of America is a non-profit organization that provides athletic opportunities for people of short stature. The organization consists of a core Board of Directors who are supported by volunteers and philanthropic contributors.
There is no DAAA membership requirement. Registration to participate as an athlete is open to everyone of every ability who has a form of dwarfism. In addition to our athletes, DAAA encourages participation from family, friends and supporters as volunteers and spectators.

What We Do
DAAA is primarily responsible for planning, financing and staging the annual U.S. National Dwarf Games. Our current focus for the National Games is to provide the best experience possible for the selection of athletic events that are offered.
The organization is committed to developing athletic opportunities for first-time competitors through elite athletes with dwarfism. DAAA aspires to promote positive experiences for all participants, and to encourage all participants to embrace and embody high personal values, including courage, determination, inspiration, and equality.
Beyond the annual DAAA National Games, the organization is committed to recognizing and encouraging elite athletes to continue training toward participation in National and World competitions and ultimately the Paralympic Games. Toward this end, every 4 years DAAA co-ordinates and sponsors a USA team at the World Dwarf Games.
