In 1965, the Sunday Industrial Soccer League was formed as an organised league for work and company soccer teams in the Northern areas of Elizabeth & Salisbury to play on Sundays. At the end of its first season, the Sunday Industrial Soccer League changed its name to the ‘South Australian Amateur Soccer League’ as suggested by H.J (Rudi) Templin. The intention behind this move was to widen the scope for participation in the league by opening it up to work teams, individual groups, and districts. This proved an extremely wise move as the number of teams registered to participate increased dramatically in the years to come. Since 1965, the league has continued to expand and strengthen, taking in more and more regions and teams. The League now encompasses and stretches from Port Pirie in the north to Victor Harbor in the south and from Murray Bridge in the east all the way to the coast.
