Notable?

While this is one of the better youth soccer clubs in the country, should we be cataloging them on Wikipedia? 192.65.41.90 (talk) 23:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

I do not believe this is notable based on Wikipedia's general guidelines:

"A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Specifically, I don't believe this is *significant* coverage. The only sources I can find are:
