Region 2 Soccer consists of non-varsity club teams representing accredited colleges and universities from the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
While NIRSA has had an official region 2 for soccer since 1995, the current SCSA wasn't created until 2010.
These appointed coordinators were in charge of generating rankings that NIRSA could use to select the teams most deserving of a bid.
For the first 7 years, the region II coordinators used their own ranking system from games that teams played locally.
To solve this issue, NIRSA encouraged coordinators to host a regional tournament to not only gauge skill, but to also find teams that were willing, and able, to travel since collegiate clubs generally receive little, to no, funding from the university they represent.
Three years after this, in the 2002 season, NIRSA's region II division began holding a tournament of their own for both men's and women's teams.
Following the 2004 season, in July 2005, it was announced that the league would end due to a lack of communication from participating club teams and no longer host a tournament.
After the dissolution, all SCSL clubs were allowed to participate in NIRSA's Region II league and tournament.
[3][4] In 2010, the league was renamed from NIRSA Region II to the current Southeast Collegiate Soccer Alliance.
Beginning in 2002 for both the men's and women's division, the region II coordinators decided to host an end of the season tournament due too a rapid growth in participating teams.
