The origins of the Alley Boys is known, but they played in Harrison, New Jersey an early hot bed of U.S. soccer. They were an established team by 1908, but whether or not they played in a league or as an independent is unknown.

In 1915, the Alley Boys joined the National Association Football League. The New York Times wrote regarding a victory over Brooklyn F.C. early in the season, “the victory was especially popular because the Alley Boys team is made up of native American players.” [ [http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9500E6DE1239E333A25754C2A96F9C946496D6CF September 27, 1915 "New York Times"] ] That season, they won the NAFBL championship, but withdrew from the league during the off season.
