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.
The club also played in NPL. That league ended in July 2026 and merged into National 1, so it does not count above. The club’s site also lists Idaho Youth Soccer Association and US Club Soccer. We have not confirmed those from the bodies’ own member lists, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists USYSA, USSF, FIFA, NISL, IWSL, Illinois Women's Soccer League, MWC National League, IWSL, IYSA State Premiership, IYSA Premiership, IL State Cup/Presidents Cup, US Club Premiership. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
