    What are the age groups
    USL Super Y determines the age groups. In 2018, the league decided to shift age groups to align with the upcoming fall season, allowing players to use Super Y League play to better prepare for the upcoming club season. This is particularly exciting for the younger ages where players are moving up the U.S. Soccer guidelines on field sizes and on-field player numbers. Super Y has divisions for U11 - U19.

    Who Will Coach?
    Teams will be coached by assigned WCOB Youth staff, with emphasis on player’s personal technical and tactical skills development the primary factor.

Elements

The main purpose of the Super Y League is for players Boys & Girls that desire to continue to train during the summer months (June & July) and continue to improve and enhance their skills to be ready and more prepared for their specific Club or High School Fall season.
Founded in 1999, Super Y is a nationwide youth soccer summer league operated by the United Soccer Leagues (USL), which is the largest organization of elite soccer leagues in North America. Affiliated with US Soccer, the Super Y League contains the youth academies of major league soccer clubs, USL pro clubs, premier development league and W-league clubs. Divisions within Super Y are organized geographically and membership in the league is only limited to a few elite programs to ensure strong competition. The Super Y League has its own ODP identification program that has opened countless doors for players to be identified for the US National Team Program!


Why play with WCOB

For the 2025 Season Super Y will function under the name OBSC. 
After the 2025 season, Super Y will function under the name WCOB.  WCOB involvement with the USL Super Y League in the summer allows us to continue driving the development of players with competitive training, and play games against regional opponents. WCOB is one of the only 6 Clubs in the state of Illinois that will be competing in this program. Our Current WCOB teams compete in the Midwest Region which includes WI, IL, IN, MO and MI.


When is the season and who do we play?

The Super Y Season training will start in June and have 2 training sessions a week in Oak Brook. Each team will play 6-8 games.  All games should end by mid August. This is all subject to change if mandated by the Super Y League office, but the above is our intentions. At the end of summer, league winners will qualify for the USL Super Y Finals that are held early December in Florida. NOTE: teams who qualify for the Super Y Finals are REQUIRED to travel to Florida in December to compete. Failure to do so could result in large fines.League games are organized through tournament style whereby most teams visit neutral site locations and play multiple games over that weekend. We will also schedule one-off games against geographically close to us opponents that are in the league. Given the structure of the league, players from any Club are allowed to participate with our teams without requiring a release from their specific club.We are aware that June & July are vacation months for families, so players will not get penalized for missing some practices or games.Involvement with the USL Super Y League in the summer allows us to continue driving the development of players with competitive training, and play games against regional opponents. 


How many players will be selected for each Super Y Team?

U11 rosters are allowed 18 players, while U12 are allowed 22, and U13-U19 allows 26 players. In order to have adequate numbers for all games, we always expect to carry the full-allowed roster sizes. The players will compete for the game day roster that will be selected for each game day. The large roster size is necessary to accommodate absences due to summer vacations. While it may seem like a lot of players, we frequently struggle to get full player rosters during popular family vacation weeks in July and August.
