Here's my new issue. DD's team has left the cozy confines of NCSL D1 this fall season and is playing in another club's slot in another (better?) league. Aside from paying to get the other club's uniform kit and requisite league patch ... as well as playing "home" matches at the other club's home venues, DD's team won't necessarily earn any rankings "credit" for their performance this fall. Outside of one or two tournaments (where they'll play as FPYC), their team's match history won't reflect any "in-league" play for this fall. In fact, the team they've replaced will get the match "credits." The club's original team went 0-for-last-year in league play. Yesterday, DD's team went out and beat a top team from a local club (one that had at least one newly-minted ECNL player as a guest ... and former FPYC teammate of DD).
In the end, I know it won't really matter in the grand scheme, but this was something I hadn't considered about rankings until league play started yesterday.
I would tend to agree about rankings not meaningful except for the very top teams (ECNL,MLS) because they have a more consistent team roster, tournaments, and league schedule from year to year. It's especially inconsistent for younger age groups because they are more likely to form a new team just for a single tournament, use guest players, might have mixed age groups, mixed boys and girls. Some clubs at younger ages have multiple teams in different leagues with a different rosters chosen from a pool of players each week. Take the information in these ranking sites for what it's worth. There is some value in seeing records against common teams, which tournaments teams have entered, recent scores. But it's a stretch to attempt to rank these teams like it's the NFL

The prediction feature is cool! Going to see how accurate it is when the season starts.

I've searched "soccer rankings" on the Play Store but nothing really seems relevant.

I agree looks fairly accurate. Much more accurate than gotsoccer. Predicted results feature is cool, maybe enough people will purchase it to keep the app in business.
I chipped in my $10.

Hello -
Since the youthsoccerrankings.us website was shut down at the end of March, I have been working long hours to create a new and improved system that runs as an app on your phone or tablet. Please check it out by searching for "Soccer Rankings" on either the Apple App Store or (in a few days) the Google Play Store.
In this first release you can view rankings for all teams from U10 to U19, view results, see game result predictions and correct errors in the team entry or playing record. I hope you will help me to get the data as accurate as possible. Some improvements you will see over the old system.
* More results.
* State rankings based on geographical state (e.g. CA, NY, OH, PA, TX)
* Better automation of merging results from different websites.
* Instant update to the rankings if you make corrections.
* Score prediction and win probability for any pair of teams.
* More predictive ranking algorithm.
* Secure tracking of who makes changes so we can block user's editing rights if they make careless or deliberate errors.
The next release will include bug fixes plus club rankings.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would spread the word about the new app in your soccer community. Hopefully we can get this into the hands of competition organizers and improve the experience of traveling teams across the country.
Please let me know if you see any issues or have any ideas for improvements.

Kind regards,

FWIW, thumbs-up thus far and extraordinarily accurate based on what I know for my kid's age group and area.
