it's fine... if you want them to play throughout summer and can afford it, why not?

Are the competition and training actually worth it though? How many practices per week?
Our options were $350, $600 and $700. This is for rising U12 age group.
First time trying we don't really have major expectations except to have a different experience and try to get an early pre-Christmas trip down to Tampa and the finals.

Interest is very low these days for Super Y. Some teams were not able to field a team for given age groups due to lack of interest.

I earn enough money that $600-$750 does not hurt a bit. My kid wants to play all of the time.
Super Y has big rosters to accommodate the travel. If you are pinching pennies, create more value in the marketplace to afford these opportunities for you child or just stay silent because it is not for you and STFU.
You folks really need to evaluate why you are so concerned with people making decisions different than what you do. What I eat should not make you 💩.
What in the world does "create more value in the marketplace to afford these opportunities" mean? My husband and I both work full time but $700 is still a significant budget hit and don't have unlimited funds to throw at youth soccer, so balancing the Super Y experience (i.e., level of play, time in training/games) against other development opportunities that may offer more bang for the buck makes a lot of sense for us.

No one ever went D1 or pro because they did or didn't play Super Y. If it works for your family it's fine, it's organized games and practices for a summer. For some kids that's perfect.

We had some fun super Y summers....by U13 or U14 it's pretty much dead, but before that if you have a bunch of friends playing together it can be fun. It's killer hot, vacations often lead to no subs or if you unluckily scheduled your vacation wrong you end up missing 3 out of 7 games because of two a weekend, thunderstorms often lead to a lot of canceled practices. It's not a good deal for the money. But ice cream after games or sleepovers after practice and just playing because you love kicking the soccer ball around can be a lot of fun for a summer or two.

Unless your kid really enjoys the game, wants to keep their foot on the ball all summer, and improves their skills through competition. That’s what you meant right? If not just stay home.
They have their practices and camps and it's ok to take some time off. Your kids scholarship isn't in the balance. I am sure that was secure at u6
Super Y is not going to help them if they even have the games.
DP. This may come as a shock, but it's possible people do this because their kid wants to play more soccer.
Nothing to do with college, or scholarships, or even "top teams."
That was totally my point! Super Y won’t help them you say, rather misinformed opinion I would say. Stick with the rec camps then, good idea. Or just stay home and take some time off.
