Why was it necessary to form the Super Y-League when we have such youth programs as those in US Youth Soccer?
The Super Y-League is much more than a league, it is a system for competitive soccer that provides the competitive and structural resources for clubs to grow and develop. As the need for clubs to take the next leap in their plans for development increases, the Super Y-League system will enable them to do so.
The difference between the Super Y-League and US Youth Soccer is that Super Y-League is intensive, week-in and week-out league competition in a professionalized environment. Most of the country's elite level youth soccer centers around tournament play. Elite-level league play is seldom available at the local level because with the so-called super leagues, although they attract the best players, competition is usually limited to divisional play and, usually, one or two teams consistently dominate. With the Super Y-League, we're seeking to attract teams that are at the elite level in their particular geographical location, and match them against the best from around North America.
