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.
Sanctioned by Ohio Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club also played in USYS NL and NPL. Those leagues ended in July 2026 and merged into National 1, so they do 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 National League P.R.O, Miami Valley South Recreation League (MVSRL). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

FC Dayton, every team.
Last season FC Dayton fielded 8 teams in the leagues we track: all girls, all at national elite. 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
