Suburban Conference (St. Louis)

The Suburban Conference (formally the St Louis Suburban Public High School Athletic and Activities Association) is a Missouri State High School Activities Association recognized high school extracurricular league which includes 32 schools located in the suburbs of St. Louis. The conference comprises mostly schools in St. Louis County but also a handful from Jefferson County. Because of the large number of teams in suburban St. Louis, the conference is split up geographically into sub-conferences, and divisions. Prior to the 2014-15 school year, there were four conferences - Suburban East, Suburban North, Suburban South and Suburban West.[1]

Realignments

For the 2014-15 seasons, the conference was re-aligned into three sub-conferences, each with two divisions.

In 2018, the St. Louis Suburban Public High School Athletic and Activities Association re-aligned their three conferences into various pools by sport, essentially making the sub-conferences and divisions irrelevant, as a given school competes against a different pool of schools in various sports. For purposes of athletic competition, pool assignments are based on the following factors: athletics offered, competitive balance, competitive trends, diversity, and school size. The number of pools varies from two (boys' volleyball) to five (football), depending on the sport, with most sports having three or four pools.[2]
