Division 1 is SOCA's highest level of competition for adults in the area. Division 1 is replacing the former Premier Division. Division 2 and 3 will effectively replace the Unrestricted Division from last years format.

At the conclusion of the spring season, the league champion from Divisions 2 and 3 will be promoted to the next higher division, and the last place team from Division 1 and 2 will be relegated to the next lower division for the following year.
