The advent of pro soccer in San Jose, with the Earthquakes in 1974, brought a soccer boom to the area. Women's interest in the sport rose at this time. The only soccer available to them was co-ed. Kathy Kelley, who played on a co-ed team, with the assistance of two Earthquake's, employees decided to put a league together for women. They began with four teams, and the next season expanded to ten teams, in two divisions.
First division is very competitive, whereas eighth is strictly recreational.
The age range is currently from eighteen to sixty-four. There are two seasons, fall and spring. Games are played at 9 and 11 a.m. on Sundays, at fields ranging from Palo Alto to South San Jose.
