The La Raza Athletic Association (LRAA) league was born from a game of five-on-five among Cal students from Casa Juaquin Murrieta/Chicano Student Co-op and friends from East Oakland. The league was formally established in East Oakland in the fall of 1971. The need for an athletic league for Raza (Latinos) by Raza began to take shape. The birthplace was an old gym at one of the first alternative schools in the nation, “Casa De La Raza School.”
Our mission is to provide an athletic program for youth who do not participate in organized athletic programs because of size, alienation, ability, or poor self-image; recreational and cultural activities that promote mental health in the community.
