What if a state currently has no USL teams? Could those states field teams in the Super Y-League?
Membership in the Super Y-League will not be restricted to USL-affiliated teams or teams in states where USL franchises are located. We look at the Super Y-League as a process for not only helping the youth game, but also helping our own efforts to boost playing opportunities for senior teams, both men and women, at the amateur and professional levels. The Super Y-League will reach out to all top-level teams in all states. It will be possible for a Super Y-League team to develop the same group of players until they are ready to enter the USL's Premier Development League as amateurs, or, as is the case with selected other USL clubs, move through the amateur ranks as a club, and on up to the professional level.
We want quality clubs that have the competitive and administrative ability to compete in the Super Y-League. The league will contain established youth clubs, and youth teams of senior USL and MLS teams.
