Coastal Collegiate Sports Association


The Coastal Collegiate Sports Association was an NCAA Division I college athletic conference.
Established in 2008, the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association was originally developed by four regional Division I conferences — the ASUN Conference, Big South Conference, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and the Southern Conference — to create a centralized home for their members with swimming and diving programs.
In October 2015, the CCSA added the newly recognized NCAA sport of beach volleyball and rebranded itself the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association.
CCSA beach volleyball went through major changes in 2021. The CCSA entered into a beach volleyball partnership with Conference USA under which the 2021 CCSA championship in that sport was split into two groups, with the six full C-USA and Sun Belt Conference members playing in one group. Following the 2021 championship, those six schools—C-USA members Florida Atlantic, FIU, Southern Miss, and UAB, plus Sun Belt members Georgia State and Louisiana–Monroe —formed a new C-USA beach volleyball league, with another Sun Belt member, Coastal Carolina, joining them. At the same time, Charleston and UNC Wilmington left CCSA beach volleyball for the ASUN.
In August 2023, ASUN began sponsoring men's and women's swimming and diving fully absorbing the entirety of the CCSA swimming and diving members, and SMU from The American, leaving the four beach volleyball members as the only remaining members of the conference. In February 2025, the remaining members of the CCSA announced they would all move their respective beach volleyball programs to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation beginning in the 2026 season, effectively bringing an end to the CCSA after 17 seasons.
At the time of its dissolution, the CCSA had 4 member schools, representing four states.
