| General Description: | The Richmond Strikers are gearing up to host their 4th season of Super Y League play this summer and try-outs will begin at the end of January. In its three years of competition, the Strikers have qualified 5 teams for National Finals. In 2006, the Super Y U15 and U16 Boys teams advanced to the National Finals in Tampa. The summer competition helps prepare the Strikers teams and players for the Fall season. As a result, 3 teams advanced to the 2006 State Cup Final Four, with the U15 Boys and U17 Girls winning it all! Each year, we see improvement in the players who continue to train over the summer through their participation in the Super Y program. Age- Groups and Coaches: The Strikers will continue to place great importance on the Super Y League and the age groups that we are hosting: U13 Boys Coach: Mauricio Pava U13 Girls Coach: Adrian Snell U14 Boys Coach: Kwaku Adu-Gyamfi U14 Girls Coach: Carlos Martinoli U15 Boys Coach: Erwan Le Crom U15 Girls Coach: David Burch U16 Boys Coach: Anthony Sherwood U16 Girls Coach: Jim Wright U17 Boys Coach: Trevor Spencer (Note: The age groups will not change from the age the player is currently playing this spring. Example: U13 Boys will be U13 Boys through the summer) Importance to the Club: The Super Y program is not mandatory for our players, but we strongly recommend that each player take advantage of additional training and matches provided through the participation in this program. The Super Y is offered by the club as part of the Strikers’ commitment to the development of our players, and it serves to advance the players’ technical levels of play. Additionally, Super Y serves as a chance for teams to stay together and mature together on and off the field. Schedule: This year’s schedule will be spread over the months of June, July and August. The flexible schedule takes into account family vacation and camp schedules. Roster maximums of 26 players make it easier to accommodate player conflicts. The roster size has helped our Strikers program to integrate premier and united players with elite players and coaches. Payments: Super Y League Fees for the Club remain the same as last year. $450.00 for Players inside the Richmond Strikers Organization $500.00 for Player from Other Organizations Fees will go to: League Fees Coach’s Salaries Striker Administration Uniforms Field Maintenance Referee Fees Insurance There is a $150.00 Deposit that is due with the paper work before try-outs. This deposit will be applied to the player’s overall fee if the player makes the squad. If a player does not make the team, the deposit will be returned after the try-outs. Travel: Travel is not included in this fee. League schedules have not been finalized at this time (we expect the league to provide us with the schedule by mid-March). We travel as a club, and do our best to have all teams playing in the same area to give a better chance for support from all of our players. Buses will be used only for Atlanta (if we do travel to Atlanta). For other locations such as Northern Virginia, Raleigh area, Greensboro and Charlotte, we will carpool. Miscellaneous: The Super Y league is a program run through the professional league United Soccer league (USL) and sanctioned by US Club soccer. The regular season league games will start beginning of June and end by Mid-August. The regular season league consists of 10 to 14 games. Each team will practice twice a week. The teams winning their divisions will be invited to compete in the Super Y Nationals in Florida (usually in November). Over 100 clubs throughout the country participate in the Super Y league. Our South Atlantic conference consists of Atlanta Fire, Atlanta Silverbacks, Carolina Dynamo, Charlotte Soccer Club, Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia Majestics and Royals, Raleigh CASL, Richmond Kickers and Triangle FC. Players will try out for their current age group. For instance, if the player is currently a U14 player, then he/she would try out for the U14 Super Y team. Each Super Y coach will be able to select up to 26 players for the team. However, only 18 players will dress on game day. Lodging and transportation will be established by the Striker office. Each year, we do have a full weekend of games scheduled away. Hotel reservation will be made via the office and the team managers. Cost of lodging and transportation is not included in the Super Y player fee. Welcome to the Richmond Strikers!
