[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer soccer on HOT turf with short rostered teams as players regularly dont show up like they do during the typical travel fall/spring season.   My kid did Super Y one year and we were not never again.   If you go into it expecting exercise and some training then go for it.  If you want the equivalent coaching, commitment and competition found in your usual travel season its not there.  Not even close.   Did I say it was HOT and rosters are short so dont expect substitutions at the rate they should be given the temperature[/quote]

I was going to say the same thing.  I will add it is a money maker for Super Y.  The trip to Florida if you get that far is a nice distraction form the cold weather here but all in all it is a constant struggle to field a team and the coaches sort of treat it as a casual league and are on vacation at times with their families as well.

and so hot, it is almost like they find the fields with no shade around, and [b]blow in more hot air[/b].  It often conflicted with swimming so we often didn't go to the games because our kid enjoys summer swim much more than super y because of the heat, did we mention that?   [/quote]

LMAO at more hot air.

My ds really wants to do it so it we're signing up. I grew up in a very very hot state where outdoor summers were the norm plus my ds did 8 hour outdoor sports camp last summer during covid and was completely fine. Not sure if its more a problem for the kids or parents but we will just keep an eye on the temperature. Hopefully I won't regret it but will at least give it a try. His swim time is during the day so no conflicts there. [/quote]

Same - we're probably going to sign up, because my son loves the game and we want him to have some activity over the summer.

Those darn turf fields though -- they are brutal in the heat.  I guess it's the rubber-like substance in the pellets ... they absorb and retain so much heat, it's about 10 degrees warmer on turf than on grass field, in my estimation.  [/quote]
