The Team Levels and Colors are not standardized. You have to ask each club what their Color or Name means. Some clubs have names and colors of Green, Teal, Platinum, Chargers, Spirit and Thorns. It's madening.

I assume this has to do with their Brookland FC merger?

I got a follow up email about my son’s offer that listed the pricing for each team, and listed all nine colors/teams for each age group.

Hello, what email did you receive explaining that they will have up to nine teams? I haven't received that information. Is this just for your child's age group?

Just a general observation:

After about the top 3 or 4 levels, there isn't much of a difference quality-wise between teams. It's really tough for a coach of younger kids to accurately place kids after the top 50 or so kids, and as kids learn and get older (bigger) the team skill levels varies greatly with those teams outside of the top levels.

I guess they are the two lowest levels, added after the tryouts to accept as many player as possible.

I understood their levels to be blue, red, white, and silver in that order, but we had one child offered "gold" and another offered "diamond" and I have no idea what those mean. Does anyone know?
