CIF Sac-Joaquin Section releases 2028-32 league realignment proposal

The CIF Sac-Joaquin Section unveiled a proposal on September 3, 2026, for the 2028-32 athletic realignment, signaling the end for two long-standing conferences. The San Joaquin Athletic Association, established in 1972, and the Trans Valley League, dating back to 1959, would be dissolved under the plan. Member schools from the San Joaquin Athletic Association and Manteca would move to the Tri-City Athletic League, while Trans Valley League schools like Escalon and Ripon would transition to the Valley Oak League. The restructuring introduces a two-tier system consisting of Capital and Valley tiers to unify league governance while managing competitive placement. Officials determined the new alignments by evaluating competitive equity, program scope, and school enrollment data from the previous three years. Further details regarding the transition will follow the public release of the full proposal.
