Cape-Atlantic League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cape-Atlantic League (CAL) is an athletic conference consisting of both public high schools and non-public high schools located in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Cumberland County, and Gloucester County, New Jersey. The Cape-Atlantic League operates under the aegis of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. It was first established in 1949, and today it comprises twenty-two schools, divided into anywhere from one to four divisions, depending on sport. All schools that sponsor a football program are members of the West Jersey Football League.

History[]

Hammonton High School, which was one of the conference's original members when it was established in 1949, had been a member of the Tri-County Conference from 2014 to 2020, before returning to the Cape-Atlantic League for the 2020-21 school year.[1]
