Good to know
- Personal travel and uniforms aren’t included in the fee.
- Different coaches work with the USL Youth teams, so the coach your player has during the year may not be the coach in the summer.
- USL Youth rosters are large on purpose, so families who travel can miss a match. Your coach announces the final roster ahead of each match.
- Previously known as Super Y, USL Youth keeps players sharp between the spring and fall seasons.
