New features are coming to TopDrawerSoccer.com that will allow you to track elite youth soccer like never before!

For starters, our Be Discovered® program has resulted in a massive increase to our Players To Watch® database, nearly tripling the number of youth players across America whose information can be found on our pages. This information will only get more detailed as readers submit extra data about each of the players and their teams through our on-line data management tool.

Elite boy's club soccer players compete.
Our rankings are getting bigger and better!
Also, our player ratings and rankings are about to get much more detailed. Along with our popular National Top 100 lists for older age groups, we are now going to rank players in 10 (yes 10 ) age groups both nationally and regionally. The National Top 100 rankings will be applied to players in graduating classes 2010 through 2014 for both boys and girls’ players. Additionally we are introducing new regional player rankings, with a Top 20 list for players in each of those age groups, in each of our 16 regions.

These rankings, along with being incredibly detailed, are sure to be very dynamic, as player form and reports will affect them at least monthly. It also provides you the reader with a chance to tell us more about players who should be recognized. There are two ways you can do this.

  1. You, a coach, or a parent can submit a player profile of yourself by clicking here.
  2. Regarding player ratings and rankings specifically, you can email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and weigh in on the best players in your area. We ask that you keep it civil and avoid personal attacks on youth players, but we want to get your feedback on who is blazing a trail on soccer fields in your neck of the woods. This will help us keep the ratings of more than 3,000 players (a massive project no matter how you look at it), as accurate as humanly possible.

These new features will begin appearing on our pages this Monday, August 17. They won’t all show up at once and as we mentioned before, will always be subject to change, especially as we keep learning about top players from all over the country. It will be worth checking back frequently to see what’s new on Top Drawer Soccer Players to Watch.
