Where on the ladder
Level 3 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 Florida 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 USL League Two, Florida State Premier League (FSPL), United Premier Soccer League, Greater Central Florida Youth Soccer League (GCFYSL). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
