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 South Carolina Youth Soccer (US Youth Soccer). The club also played in USYS NL. That league ended in July 2026 and merged into National 1, so it does not count above. 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 Coastal Premier League, South Carolina Youth Soccer Association (SCYSA), USYS Club Premier II Piedmont (Premier), SCYSA's National League South Carolina (NLSC), President's Medal Soccer League (PMSL), Open League, USYS National League Piedmont Conference (NLPC), Carolinas Premier League, DPL Southeast Conference, Carolinas Conference, US Youth Soccer National League II Club, Piedmont, SCYSA PMSL, SCYSA NL-SC, SCYSA Open, DPL Carolinas Conference, MLS NEXT Academy Division, Carolinas Conference. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
