With schools back in session, and competition underway, wishes of a successful school year and safe and fun sporting seasons from the LL League are past due! With the exception of golf (already well in to their league schedule) most sports will open league play after the Labor Day weekend. We wish all athletes, coaches, ADs, officials, athletic trainers, game help and fans a great fall season! With an eye on the post-season, be sure to check out the fall post-season dates: Fall Playoffs. And as always, thanks to our post-season presenting sponsor, Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.
New this year, league standings will be available on ll-league.com. Up-to-date standings will be posted as results are recorded. Standings can be found at the top of each sport page.
With this new endeavor we ask your patience and understanding: patience with athletic directors that already have many responsibilities and are making time to post updates, and understanding that the standings posted are standings within each section and only include intra-section play as outlined in the league by-laws. Inter-section play and non-league play are not included.
Best wishes for a great season!
The 2024-2025 school year is year one in a new two year cycle. Every two years the PIAA updates classifications based on enrollment and playoff success. With those new classifications the LL League also reconfigures sections. Here are the section alignments for the next two years. Teams are listed alphabetically; sports in the fall season lead off.
