Where the Depth Is: Texas Teams by Age Group
The deepest group in Texas is U12 with 1,385 ranked teams. Here is the full breakdown of ranked teams by age group:
| Age Group | Ranked Teams |
|---|---|
| U12 | 1,385 |
| U11 | 1,302 |
| U10 | 1,244 |
| U13 | 1,123 |
| U14 | 989 |
| U15 | 724 |
| U16 | 516 |
| U19 | 359 |
| U17 | 350 |
Why the younger groups are biggest: the youngest age groups carry the most teams because nearly every club fields multiple squads there. Depth thins at the older groups as players consolidate onto fewer, more competitive rosters.
League and Conference Parity
PitchRank rates every Texas team on one scale, so an ECNL team and a state-league team are directly comparable. Most ranked Texas teams compete in state and local leagues that carry no national-league tag; the teams playing in national and regional showcase leagues break down like this:
ECNL and its Regional League make up the bulk of Texas's national-showcase teams, with the GA, NL, MLS Next, and EA pathways adding depth across age groups. These counts cover only league-tagged teams — they are not the full 7,992-team ranked population, most of which competes in state and local leagues.

How We Built This Report
Per PitchRank's analysis of 117,747 Texas matches over the past year, every ranked team earns a PowerScore from real game results — not surveys, tournament seeding, or reputation. Our rating engine weighs strength of schedule, goal differential, recency, and consistency, then recalculates the full board every Monday.
A team appears in this report only after it has played enough games to be ranked; teams with too little data are held out rather than guessed at. Match counts cover the trailing 12 months and exclude futsal and other non-counting results, so the 117,747 figure reflects the competitive Texasgames behind this season's rankings.
