Marcos: We are looking for clubs to join the Super-Y League who have a system in place to take care of such players. We want clubs who have the financial wherewithal to welcome all players, regardless of their financial position. This includes kids who can't afford pay for play. The object of the Super-Y League is to eliminate restrictions on players. If there is a club that might not include a player because the player cannot meet certain financial obligations, then we don't want that club in the Super Y-League. The club must find a way to professionalize its operation so that if a player who is unable to pay is good enough to play, he won't be left out.

 

Weibe: In the 2001 season we established a "Financial Aid Program for Economically Disadvantaged and Multicultural Players" through the U.S. Soccer Foundation. It aided teams and players that fit this category and provided money to their teams to offset travel and equipment cost. We hope to continue this program every year.
