Frequently Asked Questions

Path2Playoffs is a mobile app for anyone who follows a competitive youth soccer team: managers, coaches, parents and players. It tells you what has to happen for your team to make the playoffs, before it happens: the Playoff Picture with the cutline drawn in, playoff odds, Match Analysis for every game, a what-if scenario builder, up-to-date standings, scores and schedules, and a weekly Audio Briefing about your team.

The app is free to get started. The Free tier includes up-to-date standings, scores, results, full team schedules, championship brackets, team and club profiles, match reminders, match day infographics and 1 saved team. Pro is $59.99/year through November 30, 2026, and if you subscribe in that window the price is yours for life. It becomes $89.99/year on December 1, 2026. Pro unlocks the full Playoff Picture, advanced playoff odds, Match Analysis, the what-if scenario builder, up to 20 saved teams, and more. Audio Briefings are sold separately as credits that anyone can buy, and Pro members pay half.

We cover ECNL and MLS NEXT. On the ECNL side that means ECNL, ECNL Regional League, and Pre-ECNL, for girls and boys. On the MLS NEXT side it means the Academy Division and the Allstate Homegrown Division. Every conference, GU9 through GU19 and BU9 through BU19. Which features are available can vary by age group and conference, depending on what each league publishes. If your league isn't listed, email [email protected]. What people ask for is what we add next.

Our data comes from publicly available league sources and is kept up to date throughout the season. Clinch and elimination scenarios are mathematically computed from every possible remaining outcome — not estimates or guesses.

Our data is kept up to date throughout the season, so the standings and playoff picture you see reflect the latest results we have.

An Audio Briefing is a weekly show about your team: everything that happened in your conference and what the weekend ahead means for the playoff race, typically each Wednesday during the season. Episodes run 10 to 15 minutes with 3 voices and are unlocked with credits, bought one at a time or in packs. Anyone can buy them, no subscription required, and Pro members pay half. One credit covers one episode in one language, and episodes not yet made are typically ready within about 24 hours.

You can simulate match outcomes and instantly see how they change the standings and playoff picture. Want to know what happens if your team wins and a rival loses? Tap in the results and the app recalculates everything — standings, PPG, clinch numbers — in real time.

The Free tier supports 1 saved team (you can switch teams from Settings). Pro lets you follow up to 20 teams and switch between them in a tap, perfect if you have several kids playing or you coach or manage more than one team.
