| New to the area. Looking for recommendations for summer group training/camps for my rising 7th grader (girl). She plays at the ECRL level so looking for competitive level training. |

No, use your money for private training instead. Super Y is a useless money grab. |

Not if she can't start get to knowing gals on her ECNL-R team (or find a way into an offer if she missed ID sessions) |

You’ll always get more out of private training but you pay more for it too. |

Super Y is "only" $400. That's the cost of 4 (cheap) privates |

USL-Y participating teams have varying costs, but agree with PP that an 8 week USL-Y program (practice twice per week and 1-2 games per weekend) is gonna be way cheaper than doing privates, say 2-3 times a week. And you can't get in-game intensity and training from a private, no mater how good the coach is. Admittedly, some of the competition in the MA division is not strong, but staying in game-ready shape is critical during the summer so that you're ready to go in late July/early Aug when club season starts back up. I don't think someone new to the area and new to a team would be wasting their money playing in USL-Y. |

| Super Y is a waste of money and typically only the lower travel teams sign up. |

BSC is $700-800 depending on age. Where is it $400? |

| Actually spending the summer in NJ and we found a team that is $450 for this. Not bad. Problem is that you might have 3 games in the same weekend (F/S/S) and that might be the 1 weekend you are away |

Alexandria was $376 total, all-in. Seems like a bargain for 16 training sessions + 8 games, although we won't make all of them. Many of the best players on the team are not doing it, but some are. |
