Where on the ladder
Level 5
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 Arizona 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 Arizona Soccer Association leagues, ECNL-RL, National Premier League 1, Elite Clubs Regional League (ECRL). We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

Playmaker Futbol Academy, every team.
Last season Playmaker Futbol Academy fielded 8 teams in the leagues we track: all boys, all at competitive regional. The ladder tops out in Pre-ECNL from U11 up.
| lvl | U11 | U12 | U13 | U14 | U15 | U16 | U17 | U18 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
