The United Recreational Soccer League and the Central Pennsylvania Youth Soccer League are down to the final weeks of play, and as the season comes down to its final act, we’ve counted at least seven Franklin County teams who are on top of their divisions. At least for now.
The Waynesboro Youth Soccer Association has been especially potent in URSL, with three of its teams leading their respective divisions with undefeated records. The Warriors (3rd-4th grade), Waynesboro FC (5th grade), and Thunder (6th grade) are sporting a combined 18-0-1 record, with the teams outscoring their opponents 107-22 in the process.
In the CPYSL, it’s Chambersburg Youth Soccer Association leading the way for area squads with three division-leading boys teams: The U9 Union Black (5-2), U11 Union (5-0-1), and U14 Union Knights (6-0-1). Penn Express FC, in Fayetteville, has one first-place boys team, the U11 United (5-1).
While Greencastle United Soccer Club has no division-leading teams in the CPYSL, the organization does have a pair of second-place teams looking to move up the ladder: The U14 Freedom girls (5-1) and U14 Storm boys (3-2-1).
Travel soccer is scheduled to resume this weekend, with a handful of teams set to take the field for the final time this fall.
Below is a team-by-team look at how local youth soccer squads are performing this season:
