Why is age 13 the best group to start with for the Super Y-League?
This is generally the youngest age when a player's talent starts emerging and coaches can clearly begin to see future potential. This is also when most of the world starts to work with their best players. In fact, top clubs in the world such as Holland's Ajax begin training their best players as early as six years of age. We have to get on the same page as the rest of the world or we will fall farther behind. Let me emphasize that it is not our goal to turn 14-year-old kids into professionals. We just want to professionalize the system and process whereby these players can ultimately reach their full potential.
