The Pittsburgh City League is considering disbanding and joining the WPIAL. The City League has spoken with the WPIAL about possibly joining, as early as the 2012-13 season. Currently, the City League has nine schools, but Peabody is closing after this school year. Schenley also will close and its students will be at different schools.
If the City League would join the WPIAL, the City League would combine some of its sports teams at some of its schools under cooperative sponsorship agreements. In other words, two schools might combine for one team. The WPIAL already has some sports teams playing under cooperative sponsorships.
The City League has been a part of high school athletics in Southwestern Pennsylvania since the PIAA was formed in 1913. The first City League championship was in baseball in 1913.
