Central Iowa Metropolitan League (CIML)

The purpose of the Central Iowa Metropolitan League is to enable each member school to operate more effectively and more efficiently in its complete athletic program.  This is accomplished by permitting each member school to develop more complete schedules, to limit travel, and to compete with other high schools of similar enrollment.

The athletic and activity directors of the league manage the CIML with final authority resting with the principals of the member schools.

The league is aligned accordingly, with three conferences:

Schedules will be generated for each sport with the majority of competition involving other teams in the Central Conference.  Rotations will be established in some sports to allow for interleague competition.  Conference Champions will be determined in all sports.  There are no league champions.  The 2011-2012 school year marks the second and final year of a two-year rotation.  This will be the final year of the CIML in this current format.

Urbandale participates in the CIML Middle School League which consists of teams from all areas but Mason City, Ottumwa and the Des Moines Public Schools.
