Head-to-head & strength of schedule
Opponent strength is the simple average of opponents’ current conference PPM. Completed and listed upcoming games are calculated separately; repeated opponents count once per match. PPM is volatile early in the season.
THE SCORING RACE
U13 TOP GOAL SCORERS
Selected-division conference goals only. Own goals and other MLS NEXT competitions are excluded. Only recorded scorers are listed.
Provisional player scoring records
Player totals are provisional pending conference-only verification.

Scorers only: Top 25 limits the list; untick it to see all recorded scorers. 0 means no reported player goal in checked matches; — means unavailable. These are never interchangeable. Tied goal counts share a rank; partial coverage can affect positions.

THE SEASON SO FAR
SEASON PROGRESS

Hammonton Regional
April 30 – May 3, 2027
Tuckahoe Turf Farms · Hammonton, New Jersey

Conference assignments are not yet published. Neither event is confirmed as the Garden State or Northeast conference qualifier. Team entry eligibility and qualification details must be confirmed by MLS NEXT.
STEP 02 · NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
MLS NEXT Cup 2027
June 5–13, 2027
Cincinnati, Ohio
National championship event featuring qualifying teams across MLS NEXT age groups, including Academy Division U13 and U14.
Three routes to MLS NEXT Cup
Announced Academy Division qualification allocation per age group:
20League play / Quality of Play
10Regional qualifiers
2Cup Play-In
32 national championship places per age group
Quality of Play (QoP) is not the same as the conference standings on this website. QoP is an official MLS NEXT performance ranking. Our standings are an independent points-per-match table; leading that table does not automatically confirm qualification.
Regional participation is distinct from qualifying for MLS NEXT Cup. No team on this site is shown as qualified unless confirmed by MLS NEXT.
How Quality of Play (QoP) works
For U13 and U14, MLS NEXT and TAKA assess the quality of significant match actions rather than relying only on wins, draws, losses and goals. Analysts evaluate each action's location, description and execution. TAKA calculates attacking, defensive and overall team scores, adjusts them for opponent quality, and aggregates them across the season.
What it means for qualification: the 20 Academy Division league-play places per age group are determined through official QoP rankings, not our independent points-per-match standings. A team leading our table is not necessarily leading QoP.
Availability: MLS NEXT says U13/U14 QoP standings are published on its platform, but we have not verified a publicly accessible 2026–27 Academy Division Garden State U13/U14 ranking feed. We will not display inferred scores or qualification positions.

Standings formula
Win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0. PPM = points divided by recorded completed matches. This independent PPM table uses goal difference and goals scored for display only. MLS NEXT uses Quality of Play (QoP) standings for U13/U14 MLS NEXT Cup qualification, which cannot be calculated from scores alone. The Academy Division rulebook’s official league-standings provision covers U15–U19.
