In addition, members are sorted in accordance to continual performance; categories include 'A', 'B', or 'C' Conferences.

Such levels vary for each sport; a school with a "B-Conference" lacrosse team can have an "A-Conference" soccer team: it all depends on the athletic performance of that particular sport.
