Where on the ladder
Level 2 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 Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). 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 USL League One. We have not placed that league on the ladder, so it does not count above.

Forward Madison FC Youth, every team.
Last season Forward Madison FC Youth fielded 6 teams in the leagues we track: all boys, all at national elite. The ladder tops out in Elite Academy 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 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.
