Arlington -- please explain the color levels of teams

[Anonymous]

I'm confused about the colors used to describe team levels -- blue, white, red, black, etc.

Can somebody please explain the color sequence? Thx in advance for your help.

Highest is either academy or precademy. Then they go from top to bottom as red, white, blue, black, silver, gold.

It's interesting for U12 boys NCSL Division 2 the black team is markedly better than the 'higher' level blue team. They play each other the last week of the season so should be an interesting result.

It’s often like that on the girls side. My daughter moved from blue to black (technically two times now), and the thing is they are in the same league so they often play the same teams. Once you get past pre academy/red, I don’t think there is much difference between teams.

Yes, they go in order. The top teams (Arsenal for boys; Spirit for girls) play in an extra tournament and have slightly higher fees. See full order here:
