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.

State & PremierEDP Soccer
Recreational

Sanctioned by Maryland State 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 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 United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), United Women's Soccer (UWS). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
