The league comprises ten teams from Catholic high schools of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington. The schools are all located in the Washington metropolitan area. Only three teams have won multiple championships since the league's inception - DeMatha Catholic High School (18), Gonzaga College High School (14) and St. John's College High School (3).
