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 US Club 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 Youth Soccer and Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer. We have not confirmed those from the bodies’ own member lists, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists Central Penn Youth Soccer League (CPYSL), N1 League, Acela/APL. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
