Where on the ladder
Level 4 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 National Capital Soccer League, Elite Development Program, YPSL, NCSL Recreation. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
