The most noticeable change will be a new level of competition that will be added between the current 2nd and 3rd division. This has been seen as a necessary step towards making a separation between teams in the current 2nd division. Due to its large size (most teams in SAJL competitions of any age group) and its status as the lowest level of 11-man football, the 2nd division carries a wide range of teams with great differences in the level of play and goals as an organization. The new 2nd division would comprise the top-tier team of the current 2nd division, giving them the chance to play more games between teams of their level. The new league dubbed as "the new 3rd division", would now serve as the lowest-tier 11-man football league. It would also provide a better platform for starting and lower-level teams.
