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 Pennsylvania Youth Soccer (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association, Central Penn Youth Soccer League (“CPYSL”), Lancaster Area Recreational Soccer (“LARS”). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
