Where on the ladder
Level 3 to Level 4
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.
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 EDP Futures, SAM league, National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
