84 rated clubs across 12 leagues — 61 men’s and 23 women’s. Unrated clubs are held and mapped but carry no number.

Which is the best soccer club in Virginia?

University of Virginia Cavaliers at 1709, playing in NCAA Division I Women's. "Best" here means highest rating on the Ranked XI national scale, not league position.

Are amateur and pro clubs really on the same scale?

Yes. Cross-league placement is calibrated on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results, the one competition where clubs from different tiers meet, so a strong amateur side can rate above a weak professional one.
