PitchRank is built by a small team focused on bringing transparent, data-first rankings to youth soccer. We collect verified game results, run them through a rating engine that weighs opponent quality, schedule strength, and recent form, then publish weekly rankings for every age group across all 50 states.
The platform combines a core rating algorithm with a machine-learning layer that flags teams trending up or down based on performance versus expectations. Rankings refresh every Monday morning so coaches, parents, and players see how their team stacks up against the rest of the country — not just their local league.
The PitchRank Team writes the methodology, blog, and state guides published on this site. We are based in Arizona and built the platform after years of frustration with the lack of objective, cross-state comparisons in youth club soccer.
