The following management services are provided for each Super Y-League team: league administration, scheduling, referee assignment, the manpower of the USL's 15-16 person full-time staff, web site management, press and public relations including providing regular standings and statistics, player discipline and the staging of championship events in each age group.

Although these costs may seem higher than other leagues, there is a greater overhead cost for operating a North American youth league. Tournaments these days run from $400-1000 for a minimum of 3-4 games. Our cost is very reasonable for a 6-month season with the added services  provided to clubs.

Clubs must consider the cost that it takes to compete in tournaments and rationalize expanded divisional league play within the Super Y-League, or continue playing in high cost tournaments that promote overplay rather than quality play.  Clubs must also figure the cost of players that pay for state ODP programs with what could be saved in their club environment with the Super Y-League ODP system that does not require any money outside of the one divisional identification weekend.  There are a lot of factors that clubs need to consider with regards to finances to balance a productive competitive and player development environment.

 

Player registration to US Club Soccer will remain seperate from the administrative fees, just as it did this season.  Teams can participate in any other USSF competition year round with their USCS/SYL player cards.
