Last summer, we didn't get a "final" game schedule until early June, and even then a few dates had no times (just the day) and those didn't get finalized until later.

Our child's team made it to the finals and pretty much everyone was part of the original roster (a few had conflicts and couldn't make it). They had a great time bonding and playing together (including one player who moved out of the area in the fall but came back to play with the team). There were a few practices in late Nov/early Dec to get ready and "re-learn" how to play with each other, since they came from 2-3 different team levels within the club and a few players outside the club.

What is creative rostering?

Kids playing down ages or kids playing that were not originally registered when the league started?

Yeah, there's that other creative rostering with the finals (which we've heard horror stories as well), but in our case, my kid's team needed a win in our last game to have a chance to advance and the team they played -- which had struggled to that point (we're like 0-8 at that point) -- brought in new players that had no numbers, wore pennies and apparently the ref never checked the player cards. On top of that we knew they were associated with another rival club and likely hadn't played until that point. They ended up being that team's best players and we ended up tying. We complained and basically Super Y's response was yeah maybe rules were broken but said if they looked hard enough maybe they could find broken rules by our team and they are final decider of all things. Wasn't the best experience, clearly, and super shady. BUT we still didn't win and we did play the game (probably would have been a forfeit otherwise since it seems they were struggling to find players to play), so there's that.

One big problem w Super-Y (although there are many problems...it is everyone's least favorite league) is that your player can play w/ a specific team in summer, but if they team makes the play-offs, then they don't have to include your kid on the play-off roster.

The teams have a habit of selecting their club team all-stars to compete in the super-y playoffs later in the year and conveniently leave off all non-top team players. They can pick the club all-stars even if they never played super-y in the summer. So, yeah...creative rostering.

That really stinks. Hope they at least tell you at the start of Super Y that if your team qualifies for the playoffs, you might not be selected to go.

C’mon. All of the teams playing are in the schedule posted in the previous post. Switch it to female, your age group and midatlantic.

Not all clubs fields teams. The participating clubs have players from many outside clubs.

It says 2024 schedule but it is accurate as it has the new teams added this year.

THIS SCHEDULE DATES ARE NOT FINAL and I confirmed with my club. I know from helping my club schedule league games that the league provides a “framework” and then the clubs finalize the schedule based on permits, etc.

This is our first year in USL so I do not have a frame of reference. I think it will be finalized in the next 10 days.

We are still trying to get registered officially with USL Y. I know another club who has not finalized their roster and further behind.

I will post when I get an updated schedule so people know at least where my club is. I am paying attention because this schedule is the last piece to finalizing suplemental summer plans.

Game dates (match ups) are posted but all the times are TBD. I think they are all listed as 12:00 am. Was wondering if someone knew about when it came out last year.

Yes, my kids team currently has 4 scheduled with times and locations and 4 at "12 am" and tbd. They seem to be updated as they are scheduled.

When does Super Y release their summer schedule? Does anyone know from past seasons?
