The Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association (PAISAA,
pronounced Pay-Sa) constitution and initial bylaws were adopted in 2010,
after three years of planning.

An advocacy group for independent school sports throughout the state,
PAISAA's purpose is to offer professional development
opportunities for membership, to preserve and enhance existing state
tournaments, and to create additional tournaments through the development of coaches' associations for each sport.

The board of directors announced in 2012 that PAISAA has been approved to as an Affiliate member of the National Federation of State High School
Association (NFHS).
