Canton Akron United SC
Canton
Canton Akron United SC (branded on-site as Canton Akron United Force) trains at the ForeverLawn Sports Complex at Hall of Fame Village in Canton and describes itself as "the area's only Premier Youth Training Pathway for soccer players from age 3 to pre-professional." The club runs three explicit tiers with, in its own words, "tiered pricing based on club vertical pyramid placement: National / Regional / Local": a Juniors Academy (ages 5–8), Youth Teams (U9–U12, Local and Regional divisions), and Competitive Teams (U13–U19, Regional and Local, with a National tier reaching ECNL Regional League play). The ratings on this profile describe the Regional tier — GLA, NPL, and Pre-ECNL play — which is where most of the club's competitive-age players land; the National/ECNL Regional League tier is more selective, more expensive, and travels further than what's rated here, and the Local tier less of both.

Coaching model
Staff include NCAA D1, D2, and D3 collegiate coaches and hold U.S. Soccer Federation National 'A', 'B', and 'C' licenses; the club states its staff "hold more US Soccer Federation National 'A', 'B' and 'C' licenses than anyone in the region." Operates year-round (Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer) with continuous tryouts. The ratings here describe the Regional tier (GLA / NPL / Pre-ECNL), the level most of the club's competitive players play at; the National/ECNL Regional League tier above it is more demanding on both cost and travel, and the Local tier below it less so.
