Where on the ladder
Level 3 to Level 5
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 Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (US Youth 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 Club Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists NCSL, TSL. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

FC Charles, every team.
Last season FC Charles 1658 fielded 11 teams in the leagues we track: 7 boys and 4 girls, all at state & premier. The ladder tops out in EDP League 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
The link opens one division table on GotSport, with every team's record. Your club's other age groups sit in their own divisions, each with its own table. GotSport posts a new page every season, so your club's website is the place to find the current one.
Programs
The programs, age by age
