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 Wyoming Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Youth Soccer Association, Snake River League. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
