Where on the ladder
Level 2 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.
The club’s site also lists Oregon Youth Soccer Association and US Youth Soccer. We have not confirmed those from the bodies’ own member lists, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists Oregon Youth Soccer League, Pre-ECNL, Pre-ECNL Girls, ECNL National League, Girls Academy League. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

Eugene Metro, every team.
Last season Eugene Metro fielded 24 teams in the leagues we track: 16 boys and 8 girls, from national elite down to competitive regional. The ladder tops out in Pre-ECNL from U11 up.

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.
Check the tables yourself
