Where on the ladder
Level 5 to Level 6
Each level below lists the leagues this club plays in. Your kid's level depends on the team they make. The six levels are our own reading of public league play. They are not an official ranking.
Sanctioned by North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Club Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists NCYSA Classic, National League Piedmont Conference, Carolinas Conference. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

Catawba Valley Youth Soccer Association, every team.
Last season Catawba Valley Youth Soccer Association fielded 12 teams in the leagues we track: 6 boys and 6 girls, from national elite down to competitive regional. The ladder tops out in ECNL-RL from U13 up.

Each dot is one team in the 2026-27 season. We place it by the league the team actually plays in, not by the club’s own team names. A tap on a dot shows that team’s league, flight and record. The dots come from published league tables, so a team playing outside those leagues will not appear here.
Check the tables yourself
The link opens the event's flight list on Total Global Sports, where the ECNL family posts its tables. Your kid's birth year is one of the rows, and the Standings link beside the flight opens the table. Each season gets a new event page, so theecnl.com is the place to pick up a later one.
