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.

Pre-Professional
Competitive RegionalNational 1 League
State & Premier
Recreational

Sanctioned by Illinois Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club also played in NPL. 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 USL Y. We have not placed that league on the ladder, so it does not count above.

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.
