Suburban Friendship League

The SFL was established in the fall of 1990 to coordinate and provide competitive soccer for the Under 14 Girls amongst the various recreational league teams who desired to compete with teams from other clubs. The program was expanded in the fall of 1992 to the Under 16 Girls. In the fall of 1995, the program was again expanded to include the Under 14 and Under 16 Boys. In the Spring of 1996, it was once again expanded to the Under 19 Boys and a limited number of Under 12 Boys and Girls teams. Although limited travel is involved, the teams in the SFL are recreational league teams and travel or select players may not participate.

The SFL recognizes that each soccer club has different operating procedures and that this is healthy for the league. The clubs are expected to adhere to their own operating procedures and provide guidance, cooperation and, if necessary, discipline in carrying out the requirements of the SFL Charter. The SFL Commissioner is given authority to adjust to the various operating procedure differences, if it is in the best interest of the organization. The club procedures and rules may be more stringent, but not any less stringent than those imposed by the SFL. The SFL does not impose any restrictions other than those expressly stated in its charter and the rules adopted at the preseason meeting.
