Kensington Lakes Activities Association

The Kensington Lakes Activities Association (KLAA) is an athletic conference for high schools in Michigan. It was formed in the 2008-2009 school year as a result of the merger of the Kensington Valley Conference and the Western Lakes Activities Association, plus two other schools joining from the Oakland Activities Association and the newly built South Lyon East.[1] The league started in 2008 with 23 teams. Howell Parker was to join the KLAA when the conference was first created, but closed after only one year of operation and later re-opened as a middle school. Grand Blanc joined in 2009 to give the league 24 teams.[2] The conference currently sits at 16 teams, split into two divisions with eight schools each.

As of the 2023-2024 academic year, 13 of the 16 schools reside in Division 1 of the Michigan High School Athletic Association. The few exceptions all reside in the East Division of the conference, as Livonia Franklin, Livonia Churchill, and Wayne Memorial are all in Division 2.[3]
