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.
Sanctioned by US Club Soccer and Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists Southeast Minnesota Soccer League (SMSL), Minnesota Academy League, Metro Alliance League, Twin City Soccer League, United States Soccer Federation, Minnesota Futsal League. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

North Star FC, every team.
Last season North Star FC fielded 1 teams in the leagues we track: all girls, all at national elite. The ladder tops out in ECNL-RL at U14.
| lvl | U14 | |
|---|---|---|
| ECNL Regional, Pre-ECNL, Aspire, EAL |
Each dot is one team in the 2026-27 season. We place it by the league the team actually plays in, not by the club’s own team names. A tap on a dot shows that team’s league, flight and record. The dots come from published league tables, so a team playing outside those leagues will not appear here.
Check the tables yourself
The link opens the event's flight list on Total Global Sports, where the ECNL family posts its tables. Your kid's birth year is one of the rows, and the Standings link beside the flight opens the table. Each season gets a new event page, so theecnl.com is the place to pick up a later one.
