Where on the ladder
Level 3 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 US Club Soccer and Louisiana Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists US Youth Soccer Association, US Soccer Federation, Federation Internationale de Football Association, Louisiana Classic Soccer League. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
