The Private Schools Athletic Association (PSAA) was formed in 1917 to fill a need for a secondary school sports league for the private schools in the New York metropolitan area. Prior to the 1920s, New York City had the longest history with private schools leagues, beginning with the New York Interscholastic Athletic Association formed in 1879. This league went into decline and disappeared in the first decade of the twentieth century, leaving the city without a private league.
