Where on the ladder
Level 2 to Level 5
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 US Club Soccer, California Youth Soccer Association (Cal North) (US Youth Soccer) and Cal South (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists N1 National 1 league, Elite Academy League 2, CSL, CalNorth league, NorCal league. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

Central Coast United, every team.
Last season Central Coast United fielded 6 teams in the leagues we track: all boys, all at national elite. The ladder tops out in Elite Academy from U13 up.
| lvl | U13 | U14 | U15 | U16 | U17 | U19 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECNL Regional, Pre-ECNL, Aspire, EAL |
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 modular11 standings page has three boxes at the top: Gender, League and Age Group. Your kid's division appears once all three are set, with every team's record.
College & pro pathway
Where the players went next.
We counted these from public commitment lists and trackers, not from the club’s own claims.
The counts come from public commitment trackers, club lists, league records, player pages, and the rosters of 2,244 NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA programs. One player counts once per school. “Division unverified” means we matched the school but could not confirm the program level. We never print a current youth player’s name.
Programs
The programs, age by age
These come from the club's site, grouped the way the club groups them. Your kid starts in the one that fits their age.
