Where on the ladder
Level 5 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 Washington Youth Soccer (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists Eastside Youth Soccer Association (EYSA), North Puget Sound League (NPSL), League Washington, EYSA League, United States Youth Soccer, United States Soccer Federation. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
