The Southern League, officially known for sponsorship reasons as Pitching In SFL is an English football league that was founded in 1894. It forms the seventh and eighth levels of the English football league system along with the Northern Premier League and the Isthmian League. Collectively these leagues are called the Trident Leagues. The structure of the Southern League has changed several times since its formation in 1894, and currently there are 87 clubs which are divided into four divisions. The Central and South Divisions are at step 3 of the National League System (NLS), and are feeder divisions, mainly to the National League South but also to the National League North. Feeding the Premier Divisions are two regional divisions, Division One Central and Division One South, which are at step 4 of the NLS. These divisions are in turn fed by various regional leagues. The league has its administrative head office at Eastgate House in Gloucester.
