ABOUT SUPER Y LEAGUE
Super Y is a nation-wide youth league operated by the United Soccer Leagues (USL), which is the largest organization of elite soccer leagues in North America. Affiliated with US Soccer, the Super Y-League contains the youth academies of Major League Soccer clubs, USL PRO clubs, Premier Development League and W-League clubs. Divisions within Super Y are organized geographically, and membership in the league is limited to only a few elite programs to ensure strong competition. DBSS has been a member since 2017.

NORTH AMERICAN FINALS
This event typically occurs in December at the world-renowned IMG Soccer Academy in Bradenton, or in Tampa, FL.
​The Super Y-League North American Finals is regarded as one of the top youth soccer events in North America. It is a five-day tournament that includes more than 130 of the best U12 to U18 boys’ and girls’ soccer teams from the US and Canada.
