The Southern California Municipal Athletic Federation (SCMAF), established in 1949, is a non profit organization comprised primarily of municipal recreation service providing agencies throughout the region. SCMAF's membership consists of over 1,000 members in six different membership categories.

SCMAF encompasses ten Southern California counties with over 225 cities and agencies serving a population of over 15 million people.  Through its seven associations, SCMAF's footprint extends from the Southern San Joaquin Valley to the U.S.-Mexican border and from the far reaches of the Inland Empire to the Pacific Coast, even extending beyond to Catalina Island.

Through its member agencies, SCMAF provides year-round youth and adult athletic competitions in a variety of sports.  SCMAF's charge is to grow recreation-based sports programming by supporting the efforts of its member agencies.  SCMAF provides its membership with program support by offering insurance programs, rules, officials' and volunteer coaches' training and certification, and more.  SCMAF also provides quality member education programs, professional development opportunities, networking, and other important resources.  SCMAF also supports important initiatives such as scholarship programs, advocacy for fitness and wellness, and promoting sportsmanship and fair play.

SCMAF's receives significant support from the Los Angeles County Department of Parks & Recreation through a variety of important infrastructure components.  SCMAF has also cultivated fruitful relationships with partnering organizations which yield significant benefits to the general membership.  SCMAF is fortunate to have the support of an active and effective membership base, which works tirelessly to "Promote a Better Life through Sports and Physical Fitness".
