Marcos: At its most sophisticated stage, the Super Y-League could include 25,000 players, 500-600 boys and girls teams, five age brackets with 100 teams in each bracket in both boys and girls divisions. While these are significant numbers, I have to emphasize that the number represents only the top less than one percent of the 4 million or so registered players in US Youth Soccer, AYSO and SAY.

With this many players taking part, we believe that the Super Y-League can significantly augment -- and in some cases accelerate -- the process of identifying players and helping U.S. Soccer reach its Project 2010 goals. With the Super Y-League teams playing 30-40 games a year in the future, it will lessen the chance of failing to identify top players who are ready to move into the professional ranks.

Weibe: I think that we are on target with what Francisco has stated. I want to strongly emphasize that we are not looking for numbers in this league. We want to stress quality over quantity. Too many other leagues fail because there are excess of clubs or below average teams competing. It is important that we have measures of quality and performance and maintain that each season.
