The Saginaw Valley High School Association (commonly referred to as the Saginaw Valley League) is a high school sports league formed in 1904 within the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA), located in the Bay, Genesee, Isabella, Lapeer, Midland, and Saginaw counties in Michigan area.

History

SVL was formed in the fall of 1904 with five teams: Bay City Eastern (Bay City Central), Bay City Handy (Bay City Western), Saginaw Eastern (Saginaw High), Arthur Hill, and Flint High (Flint Central). In August 2012, the final four teams of the Big Nine Conference, Carman-Ainsworth, Davison, Flint Powers Catholic and Flushing, joined the league in its South Division. With the Flint Metro League losing Lapeer East and Lapeer West, Flushing and Carman-Ainsworth applied to join that league with Flushing's membership approved starting in the 2014-15 year. Bay City John Glenn joined in 2017, but left in 2020. Grand Blanc joined in 2018. Starting in 2021, Saginaw and Saginaw Arthur Hill formed a co-op team football in preparation for a high school merger. Traverse City Central and Traverse City West announced they would be joining the Red Division in 2022 as football-only members.
