Youth sports league which fails
WP:GNG and
WP:BRANCH, almost all youth leagues are non-notable, and "[a]s a general rule, the individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not considered notable enough to warrant a separate article - unless they are substantially discussed by reliable independent sources that extend beyond the chapter's local area."

Speedy Keep Not a youth team. It was the name of the farm team, also known as their Reserves and later became the Whitecaps FC 2. Several senior players played on the side either as a result of training after injury or as a demotion.

Speedy Keep - is this a joke? Since when was a 4th tier team not notable. Youth?1?

In Canada, fourth-tier teams are usually not notable.

3rd Canadian tier - played in USPDL, 4th American tier, and received much more media coverage than a typical USPDL team.

I'm quite familiar with the Canadian interdependence on the US system, and it's not even the third tier in Canada because there first two tiers are American leagues (MLS and NASL respectively), but you asked when a fourth-tier team is not notable: it's in countries where the sport is not the prominent sport. However, this team is sufficiently notable. Other teams in this league are not notable.

Which team in
Premier Development League isn't notable? All the ones that have played a full season, have articles.

Keep It's not a youth team, it's a reserves team, and PDL teams are notable.
