Where on the ladder
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 Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Futsal Federation. We have not placed that league on the ladder, so it does not count above.
