Men's structure

The ACT State League men's structure is broken into fourteen leagues composed of ten All-Age State League Competitions and four age restricted Masters Competitions. The system consists of a pyramid of leagues. Divisions 1-4 are bound together by the principle of promotion and relegation. The most successful club in each league rises to a higher league, whilst the club that finishes at the bottom of their league finds itself sinking down a level. Division 5 and 6 are open leagues for casual players. [2]
