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 Virginia Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club also played in NPL and USYS NL. 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 Advanced Development Soccer League, Virginia Premier Soccer League (VPSL) Conference, Girls Academy ASPIRE. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
See how the whole ladder worksFrom the league tables
FC Richmond, every team.
Last season FC Richmond fielded 6 teams in the leagues we track: all girls, all at competitive regional. The ladder tops out in GA Aspire from U13 up.
| lvl | U13 | U14 | U15 | U16 | U17 | U19 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECNL Regional, Pre-ECNL, Aspire, EAL |
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.
College & pro pathway
Where the players went next.
We counted these from league records and player pages, not from the club’s own claims.
We found no college commitment from this club in public trackers, league records, the club’s own lists, or the 2,244 college rosters we hold. A player can still be missed. This is what the public record shows, not proof that nobody went.
1 youth national team call-up came from this club’s teams, in the camps we track. We do not name current youth players.
The counts come from public commitment trackers, club lists, league records, player pages, and the rosters of 2,244 NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA programs. One player counts once per school. “Division unverified” means we matched the school but could not confirm the program level. We never print a current youth player’s name.
