USPSA Organization

The United States Practical Shooting Association is organized into 8 "Areas", each of which is represented by an Area Director at the board meetings of the organization. USPSA also welcomes foreign  affiliates, which are not considered members of an area (although you will occasionally see the foreign clubs referred to as members of Area 9).

Each Area is divided into sections. Each section is represented by a Section Coordinator who is responsible for coordinating the activities of clubs within his/her section, and managing the nationals slot distribution process.

Occasionally a club will be an "independent", and not a member of a section. This is generally due to geographic isolation from other sections.
