Valley Football Association

The Valley Football Association (VFA) is a football-only athletic conference comprising sixteen high schools located within northeastern and central Wisconsin. The conference was formed in 2010, when the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association merged the Fox Valley Association (FVA) and Wisconsin Valley Conference (WVC) to form the Valley Football Association. The merger was a result of the WVC having difficulty scheduling football games due to only having six active football participants at the time. The first season of play was 2011. The conference is split into two divisions: North and South.

In 2014, Hortonville High School replaced original member Menasha High School, who departed the VFA for the Bay Conference.[1]
