What are the reasons for United Soccer Leagues being the organizing body for the Super Y-League and why not the more established national youth organizations?
We have run national leagues and competitions for 17 years. While it is not rocket science, there are flexibility issues that invariably come up with running national competitions with which USL is particularly familiar. Additionally, many organizations with fully operating USL teams will be operators of teams in the Super Y-League. We will be the facilitators of the Super Y-League, utilizing our experience and economy of scale to produce the best competition possible. We can do this without asking for exorbitant player fees -- fees that sometimes prevent players from competing. Whereas in many communities, a parent may pay $100 for an eight-year-old to compete in a youth season, the team registration fee of $1000 is roughly in the same ballpark for prospective Super Y-League teams. There still will be travel costs. However, many teams are already doing this by traveling to games in their division and attending national and international competitions.
