Marcos: The SYL has teams that are much broader in geographical scope, and because of that, they play at a higher level. Even the current number of super leagues in the country is localized in terms of their members. The SYL is organized on a regional level, so as to include only the very top teams within a limited geographical area.

Weibe: Again, I would like to reiterate that the SYL is designed specifically for the elite level player. Hence, the expanded roster sizes, no recruiting restrictions and the club pass system. This will not be available within other national youth associations such as US Youth Soccer and AYSO. Their programs are focused on the majority, recreation soccer, instead of the elite level player. The Super Y-League is structured in such a way that it can quickly mold itself to be what it needs to be over time.

Some of the regional leagues operated by other youth organizations consist of three or four mini-tournaments for their league season. The SYL is a week in - week out league. A heavy importance is focused on home and away series, for competitive reasons. We want to promote quality play rather than overplay. An extended league format is a better alternative for these players because it does not overload their play. The number of quality matches without overloading a player is the most important aspect to player development.
