    ?? everything is for a profit. Your child doesn't have to play. Don't tryout and don't pay. It's a personal decision.

          As a parent we should want our kids to be poached. Or be trained or coached by others. Not sure why parents wouldn't want their kids consider by other teams. Please explain how poaching is bad?

            I think another word for poach is recruit. I agree, why is bad for better teams to recruit promising players from lesser teams? I think youth soccer rules are already WAY to restrictive relative to player movement.

                I was at super y's. the quality of play was top notch and in line with any top teams you'd see during other parts of the season. soccer is a year round sport or at least 10 months with Dec and June being light so to have super y makes lots of sense at the elite level if you can work RPL/State Cup/Super Y into your schedule and get meaningful games.

                    One of the problems with Florida teams at Super Y nationals is when it's held. Because of HS soccer commitments, the team rosters are not the same as during the summer, and practice time is limited. For most of the rest of the country, Dec is after the HS season and the full team can train and play together.

                      Super Y exists for players that don't have opportunities with DA/ECNL. Not bashing it, but if you have the option of DA or ECNL in your area and you are good enough, then it's a no brainer.

                      However, if those option are not available or you didn't get selected, then Super Y is a great option, as is ODP.

                        Is this the Super Y director?

                          If you are worried about your kid's health, don't register. To be honest, the only problem I have with the program is that coaches register their teams under their regular season team names and get gotsoccer points. Super y teams have no relationship to the regular season teams and competition and most teams don't participate. Many teams are made up of kids from a number of clubs. It's not the end of the world but it seems like a bs way to stack points to me-- sort of like those teams that register for 3v3 under their team name for points. That's lame.

                            What about DOC making 80k a year? Sounds pretty profitable to me! Don't be delusional, everyone is making money off our kids. even the rec clubs.

                              Sounds like Super Y, youth academies and any advanced programs are not for you or your family. The YMCA might be a better fit. Program director there is lucky to make $35k, but you'll complain about that too.

                              Btw, I'm a parent not a coach or DOC. I could coach and collect the $1500-$2500 per team that many academies pay, but choose not too. Why?, it doesn't pay and I have a family to consider. For a single team a coach spends 8-10 hours a week at the field plus tournaments. For 15 weeks in the fall and 15 weeks in the spring its approximately 300 hours and works out to about $5/hr.

                              I'm thankful we have licensed coaches that work for $5/hr. Yes, they make money off our kids but they're not exactly retiring on the enormous income. The coaches I know do it to give back to the game they love but need some compensation as the 2nd job it is for most. DOC's make more but this there primary job. They run soccer programs with revenue over $1M and some approaching $5M. So yes, they probably get paid more but they have to deal with hundreds of whining parents like you. I wouldn't want that job either.

                              Best of luck finding the perfect club where there are no fees, everyone is a volunteer, on a field donated and maintained to immaculate conditions. Your child starts, is captain, scores every goal on a team that has never lost and multiple professional contracts waiting for you to sign.
