Release #3: PLAYER AGREEMENT WITH VCCL
The
Williamsburg Legacy Super-Y League program is pleased to announce an
unprecedented player agreement with the VCCL.
The
VCCL is the Virginia Club Champions League (VCCL) and was founded in
1997. The League is managed by the Director’s of Coaching for the
following clubs: Beach FC, FC Richmond, Richmond Strikers, Roanoke Star,
SOCA and Williamsburg SC. It is a league that is run by soccer

play is offered for both boys’ and girls’ divisions U10 through
U18/19. What is unique to
the Champions League is the coordinated traveling schedule.
Each club’s entire contingent of teams travels together to all
away games
It
is the responsibility of the Williamsburg Legacy Staff to get the best
players regardless of where they come from to fill the rosters for the
six Williamsburg Legacy Super Y teams.
The Super Y league is structured to “operate free from
restrictions on the competition. This
includes expanded rosters and no limits on recruiting. The restrictive
rules and regulations that are appropriate for rec-level soccer are
detrimental to player development when applied for youth super leagues.
This is about week-in, week-out hardcore competition between youth
players who aspire to be professional players” as quoted by Francisco
Marcos, president and founder of the United Soccer Leagues for the past
fifteen years.
Dave
Amsler, the president of VCCL said, “ This is a tremendous opportunity
for the top 10 % of our players in the VCCL to play together in this
national league under the Williamsburg Legacy.
The SYL is a league that is in a position to attract the top
players and through this agreement the Williamsburg Legacy will have the
top players from the Southern Virginia area.”
“
In order to be competitive in the Super Y League when you are playing
against teams from CASL Elite, DC United of the MLS, and the A league
finalist, Richmond Kickers we have to attract the top players to the
Williamsburg Legacy Super Y teams. Through scouting League games and
conversing with coaches in the VCCL we will make sure that the best
players are selected from the Southern Virginia area, which is what
Super Y is looking for.” quotes Richard Butler, Director of Coaching
for the Williamsburg Soccer Club as well as General Manager for the
Williamsburg Legacy.

Release #2: WILLIAMSBURG LEGACY SUPER
Y LEAGUE - WELCOME TO THE NEXT
BIG STEP IN UNITED STATES SOCCER- THE SUPER Y LEAGUE
The
Super Y League holds the status of “Other Affiliate Member” in good
standing with the United States Soccer Federation, Inc. (USSF).
Participation in the Super Y league will not affect current status as a
member of USYSA, VYSA, or any other youth team. The Super Y League is an
enhancement to the development of the top soccer players in this
country.
Francisco
Marcos, President of United Soccer Leagues and founder of the Super Y
League has a passion for soccer. His
vision five years ago was to create a league for youth soccer players
that would become the base of the pyramid for United Soccer Leagues’
PDL, D3 Pro League, W- League and A League. As well as for the WUSA and
the MLS. With our Legacy (PDL)
team finishing it’s first season we felt prepared and excited to add
to ‘our club structure’ the Super Y League.
Super
Y does not come under the umbrella of VYSA, or any state association.
Our rules and regulations come under the direction and umbrella
of USL. The inaugural
season began in 1999 with 16 organizations participating and how now
grown to over 300 teams. The League has just been granted ODP status.
“ We have long believed that the best opportunity for players to show
themselves is in week-in ,week-out competition as opposed to the current
tryout system currently in place,” said Marcos.
“Some players are just not tryout and practice players. What
our system needed was a way to see these young athletes playing during
official league competition.”
