 | | Club Soccer - Soccer whose players, coaches, and teams are organized by a soccer club, academy, or superclub (such as SAYSO), and that looks to the outside (e.g., to an association such as US Club Soccer, Super-Y League, or CYSA) for its league play. |
 | | In the United States, "Club Soccer" is understood to exclude the activities of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), which does not permit outside clubs to bring teams into its leagues of play. |
 | | Independent Team - A team that is organized, trained, and managed by a group that is not associated with an established soccer club. |
