Inter State Amateur Football League

The Inter State Amateur Football League (ISAFL) is a football league for amateur players in the United States. It was founded in 1972 by a group of players who wanted to create a league that was more competitive than the typical recreational league, but without the commitment of a professional league.

The ISAFL is a member of the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA). It currently has over 100 teams in 10 divisions across the country. The divisions are divided by region and skill level.

The ISAFL has continued to grow in recent years. In 2023, the league has over 100 teams in 10 divisions across the country.

Rules

Inter State teams

The ISAFL follows the rules of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). The most notable difference between ISAFL rules and USSF rules is that the ISAFL allows for unlimited substitutions.

The ISAFL also has its own set of rules that are specific to the league. For example, the ISAFL has a rule that requires teams to have at least 3 female players on the field at all times.
