WHAT IS USL-YOUTH?
USL Youth (former Super Y) is a summer league to allow players to play against elite level competition throughout the summer. USL Youth provides the opportunity for players to improve their game and get ahead for the fall season.
Evolving from the historic Super Y Summer League, USL Youth provides alignment between the USL’s youth initiatives and the full USL ecosystem’s youth-to-pro pathway. It focuses on building and engaging a vibrant youth soccer community through events, content, and experiences, providing an integral step in the soccer journey of players, coaches, clubs, and families. USL Youth aims to meet you where you are on your soccer journey and support why you do it. CLICK HERE
