The Super Y-League is the only North American youth league designed for the top one percent of elite youth players in the United States and Canada.
As a national affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation, the Super Y-League provides the national league structure to develop players and helps identify elite players for National Team programs through ODP status programs such as the SYL Finals and Regional Select Team weekends.
The scope of the Super Y-League stretches from as far as Vancouver, BC to Miami, FL and from Boston, MA to Los Angles, CA.
“We have now developed a solid track record and some baseline standards to gauge the effects of competing in the Super Y-League after four years. In hind-sight, everything has been extremely positive for our Club and all of our players who participated in the SYL with us” said Walt Konopka, a member of the Jersey Shore Boca Board of Directors who also coached Boca SYL teams in 2001 and 2002.
“Any player who previously participated with us in the SYL received a taste of not only what it’s like to play at the next level but what it will take to get there. Regardless of the wins and losses, the fact we were able to provide our players this level of competition was tremendous toward their overall development” Konopka added.
Jersey Shore Boca has been a fixture in the soccer community since 1978 and is one of the most respected soccer clubs on the East Coast.
The Club is celebrated their 25-year anniversary in 2003.
