Where on the ladder
Level 3 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’s site also lists US Club Soccer and North Carolina Youth Soccer Association. We have not confirmed those from the bodies’ own member lists, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists United States Youth Soccer Association, United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.
