CSA, Force climb at U14

Charlotte SA lands at No. 10 this month after faring well against some tough opposition at the Development Academy U14 Showcase in North Carolina. CSA swept its opponents, including a 4-3 win over No. 3 New York Red Bulls on an 80th minute goal by Emiliano Sanchez Guerra.

De Anza Force Development Academy swept the competition at its showcase as well, improving its record to 11-1 overall and moving up four spots to No. 5. Class of 2020 and top 20 ranked midfielder Jack Imperato has eight goals in nine matches for De Anza, but he is just third in goals scored on the team, as Brandon Cramblit and Eduardo Navarro have reached double digits with 11 and 10 goals, respectively.

USA, WCFC up at U15

With the start of the US Youth Soccer National League season imminent, fall league and high school seasons are winding down, and a couple of teams move up as a result of regular season championship runs. United SA Mt. Pleasant out of South Carolina finished USYS Region III’s Southern Premier League on top of the standings with an undefeated 10-0-1 record, climbing to No. 2. Likewise, West Coast FC Wallace finished the SCDSL Champions Division on top at 8-1-1, and climbs to No. 5.

Next Thursday: U13, U14, and U15 Girls

Grande Sports TeamRank is the comprehensive team-ranking system devised by TopDrawerSoccer.com to provide an objective and common-sense approach to determining which elite youth soccer teams are the best in the nation.

The rankings, updated monthly, are primarily results-based, with a nod toward the league and championship competitions that emulate how excellence is determined in leading soccer nations around the world.

Tournaments are also included but at a reduced value due to the many mitigating factors involving such events, including attrition and guest players.

A final layer of executive evaluation is provided to account for variables that often impact results, thus ensuring that the monthly lists are not subjective, but are not purely mechanical.
