Five clubs, and one of them is online
The league keeps a Teams section and a Staff section. The clubs in its table are the Electrons, Hounds, Blazers, White Sox and Hawks, with 8 Ballers, Classics and BJL Sox also appearing in fixtures.
The front page embeds the Winnemac White Sox Instagram, handled @greatestbrosondirt, which is the only club account surfaced by any league in this directory.
Naming a Chicago club the Electrons is a decision somebody should be proud of.
Rosters on High Cheese update as people sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons, so a club's own account has a roster behind it.
