League Alignment of schools within each conference begins after the first of the year.

Each Conference has a Realignment Sub Committee that will meet and discuss proposals submitted to them for review or generate their own proposals for consideration.    The Conference realignment meetings are chaired by the Conference Chairmen as listed above and a representative from every league in their conference as chosen by the leagues.  Briefly the steps that will be followed are outlined below.  To insure complete understanding of the process, please review CCS Bylaws Article IV, Realignment.
