SounderBruce, thank you for your feedback but I have to disagree that this page is not newsworthy. There are many other youth soccer clubs listed in Wikipedia because they provide historical references, local area cultural significance, and links to professional level personalities that have their own Wikipedia pages (e.g., DeAndre Yedlin). Here is an example of a local area soccer club with a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Crossfire.

Washington Crossfire was also a member of the USL Premier Development League, a semi-pro league. That's the cut-off point for team notability. Note that we recently deleted the Sounders Academy article for lack of notability, and this club is arguably even less notable. Sounder Bruce 06:26, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
