Hans Peters founded the Inter-County Soccer League (ICSL) in the summer of 1960. Initially, six clubs made up the entire league and there was only a single age group: U-13 boys. Girls’ soccer was introduced to league play in the spring of 1973 with a single 12-team division. At that time, age brackets typically covered two age groups.
Since those early days, the ICSL has grown to be the largest travel soccer league in Southeastern Pennsylvania. There are currently 70 active member clubs. Of the six founding clubs, only one is still active: Lower Southampton. The ICSL fields over 650 teams, totaling approximately 10,000 players, who participate in three groups: Youth (U-8 to U-15), Juniors (U-16 to U-19), and Seniors (U-20 and up). League play is primarily during the Fall and early Winter seasons.
The main territorial draw for the ICSL is still Bucks and Montgomery counties, along with Northeast & Northwest Philadelphia. However, there is representation from as far as Berks, Chester, Lancaster and Delaware counties, and a Pennington United Soccer Club from NJ.
ICSL is affiliated with Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) and Eastern Pennsylvania Soccer Association (EPSA).
The league office is located at 222 Bustleton Pike in Feasterville, PA 19053
