The Town of Waxhaw partners with the Waxhaw Athletic Association (WAA) to provide sports programming.
The WAA is an all volunteer, non-profit organization serving young athletes and their families since 1980
offering baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, flag football and cheer and is presently the fastest growing athletic
association in Union County serving over 1,300 young athletes ages 3-18 every year. Our families come from
surrounding communities within Union County, South Charlotte, and bordering South Carolina. The goal is to
provide children and their families with accessible, age-appropriate developmental programs that players can
grow with over time.
