Where on the ladder
Level 4 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 Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists Capital District Youth Soccer League (CDYSL). We have not placed that league on the ladder, so it does not count above.

Clifton Park, every team.
Last season Clifton Park fielded 14 teams in the leagues we track: 12 boys and 2 girls, all at state & premier. The ladder tops out in EDP North Atlantic from U8 up.
| lvl | U8 | U10 | U12 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDP flights 1–3 | ||||
| EDP flights 4+ / Futures |
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.
