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.

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.
