Take that money and spend it on a good small group trainer or HP elite. Valor doesn't really put effort into super y, it is more of a money grab. They seem to hire the bottom tier staff (low paying) to run those.


+1.
Also, its way too hot for soccer! Miserably hot.


+2 the AC with HP Elite is a must in July.

Keep your money. The kids are mixed bag for SYL and are not that good unless your Super Y team is made up of the number 1 if at all the 2 team players.

My son is skipping for this reason. Combined with the mixed skill levels and not the best coaches running it… would rather spend the $ on training.

Super Y is about fun and getting touches on ball in game situations. Keeps kid in soccer fitness too. Dont listen to the negatives.. if your kid wants to do it…do it..

Its ~$400 for the equivalent of a full season (minus tournaments). Two practices a week and a 7-8 game season with some possible weekday scrimmages mixed in. I'm not sure how thats "not worth the price".

HP Elite is $300 - $400 for 8 sessions. 1 on 1 training is typically $50 - $100 per session.

The training has tangible benefits.

Valor Super Y does not.

Older boys team just plays for fun and many are from other clubs that get together just for Super Y. Not everything has a ROI, it can just be for fun.

We have done Super Y for the past few years, this is on the girls side. Yes, it is a mixture of girls but my daughter has been ready for the season by playing over the summer. Yes, it is HOT is it s SUMMER. 100% agree it is a money grab, especially if you go to FL. Don't got!! Not worth it!!!

You start training with teams in July/August and love seeing her ready, running and fit, while there are others that have set on their butts all summer and not ready.
We do other training HP and others too.

I feel like the opposite is true for my son. He comes back from summer and the reduced winter training looking better than he does at the end of a soccer season. I think it’s because he does other sports during those times which gives him good overall fitness, along with more time to kick the ball around on his own along with training that’s probably more effective than his team practices. Makes me wonder what the point of all the practices are…

Both have benefits. Playing real games on a full pitch as beneficial. Parents wonder why there HPe kid does play. Well its because they fall behind in conditional. And physicals aspects will cannot be replicated. We do both.

Depends which team you end up on. My friend is really happy with the 15b Gold team, but the lower teams I've not heard such great stuff, especially about player development.

Burnout is real.

Super Y can be fun because it includes people from different clubs and different commitment levels. I’ve seen a lot of rec players on Super Y teams — they don’t have the time or money for full-year travel, but they can swing Super-Y. It’s neither evil nor amazing. It just is.
