Fall Sports
Football
In football, the Cloverbelt Conference used to be separated into two divisions, the Large Division, and Small Division until the end of the 2007-08 athletic season when the area underwent major conference realignments. The Cloverbelt was then split into a modified Cloverbelt Conference, the newly formed Cloverwood Conference, and some of the schools moved to The Marawood Conference. Before this realignment, the Cloverbelt Conference was considered a powerhouse amongst Wisconsin's small school conference for decades, often sending at least one team to the state finals each year.
Before the Realignment- Large Cloverbelt: Altoona, Cadott, Colby, Fall Creek, Neillsville, Osseo-Fairchild, and Stanley-Boyd, and Mosinee.
Small Cloverbelt: Augusta, Gilman, Greenwood, Loyal, McDonnell, Owen-Withee, Regis, and Thorp.
After the realignment-
Cloverbelt: Colby, Stanley-Boyd, Eau Claire Regis, Altoona, Osseo-Fairchild, Fall Creek, Spencer/Marshfield Colombus*, Neillsville, and Cadott.
Cloverwood: Gilman, Thorp, Loyal/Granton, Owen-Withee, Greenwood, Newman*, Athens*, Abbotsford*, Assumption*, Augusta Spencer AKA the worst team ever!

For wrestling, the teams are different. There are three divisions for wrestling in the WIAA, but because of having trouble trying to find fourteen quality wrestlers to fill a fourteen man weight class roster in small schools, some schools have been forced to merge programs to fill the holes.

Neillsville, Loyal, and Cadott are the only schools that have their own teams.
Spring Sports
