The United Soccer League launched USL Youth as a new brand for its youth activities, replacing the Super Y League brand.
The Super Y League was launched in 1999 and had nearly 500 teams and more than 8,000 players participating in 2023.
“We want to meet players, coaches, and families where they are in their soccer journey and help them reach whatever level they aspire to,” said Joel Nash, the USL senior vice president in charge of youth initiatives. “By connecting our youth soccer platform with the full USL ecosystem, we hope to give our members the opportunity to be part of a larger movement and help our professional and pre-professional clubs build their fanbases.”
