Where on the ladder
Level 4
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 USYS NL and NPL. Those leagues ended in July 2026 and merged into National 1, so they do not count above. The club’s site also lists US Youth Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists USYS Eastern Regional League. We have not placed that league on the ladder, so it does not count above.

Where the players went next.
We counted these from public commitment lists and trackers, not from the club’s own claims.
The counts come from public commitment trackers, club lists, league records, player pages, and the rosters of 2,244 NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA programs. One player counts once per school. “Division unverified” means we matched the school but could not confirm the program level. We never print a current youth player’s name.
