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 Illinois 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 Illinois Youth Soccer Association Premiership Division, Midwest Conference (MWC), Illinois Women's Soccer League (IWSL), indoor league. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

FC1 Academy, every team.
Last season FC1 Academy fielded 7 teams in the leagues we track: all boys, all at national elite. The ladder tops out in Elite Academy from U12 up.
| lvl | U12 | 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 modular11 standings page has three boxes at the top: Gender, League and Age Group. Your kid's division appears once all three are set, with every team's record.
