League structure
[
edit
]
The Stirling & District AFA is split into four divisions, a Premier Division of 12 teams, Division One which contains 11 teams and the bottom two tiers, Division Two & Three which both contain 14 clubs respectively. Each league has two clubs which are automatically promoted/relegated between divisions with the exception of Division Three, from which there is no relegation. As a stand-alone Association and not part of Scotland's
pyramid system
, the Premier Division does not act as a feeder league and as such there is currently no promotion available.
