The league takes its name from the St. Louis – San Francisco Railway (the Frisco), which was, and still is, a major presence in the area— especially before the birth of Route 66.

The league officially offers championships for girls in Basketball, Cross Country, Softball, Track & Field and Volleyball.

And for boys the league officially sponsors championships in Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Soccer and Track & Field.

The league is also somewhat unusual among those in Missouri in that it offers official fall baseball and spring softball competition.

Teams in the league represented Lebanon, Stoutland, Richland, Crocker, Linn Creek, Conway, Niangua and Marshfield.
