A 9-team league from the 1960s, the conference expanded to 12 teams in 1996, then dropped to 11 members when Williamsburg joined the Eastern Iowa Hawkeye Conference in 2000. In the fall of 2014, the schools of the SICL voted to allow Colfax–Mingo to join the SICL, making it a 12-team league again.

Sports

Football is administered through the Iowa High School Athletic Association, with teams assigned to districts based on their enrollment classification and geography. Most SICL schools are in Class A, the smallest of five classifications for the 11-man football game, although Sigourney-Keota -- which has had a cooperative agreement since 1987 -- is Class 1A. As of 2019, four SICL schools -- Iowa Valley, English Valleys, HLV and Tri-County -- play eight-man football.

The conference offers the following sports:

Although the member schools field junior varsity teams (for freshman and sophomore athletes) in many of the above-mentioned sports, conference championships are determined at varsity level only. Also, not all schools field teams in every sport, while others are part of cooperative sharing agreements with schools within and outside the SICL.
