In a partnership with NoVA Majestics, Herndon has joined the Super Y League for the 2021 summer. Super Y is a summer league operated by the United Soccer League to give talented dedicated soccer players the opportunity to further development over the summer months. Clubs offering Super Y teams, like Herndon, hold open tryouts to evaluate the local talent across clubs. Participating allows players the potential for elevated competition while building new friendships in their normal travel club's "off" season.

The league hosts youth academies of Major League Soccer clubs, USL PRO clubs, Premier Development League, and W-League clubs. There are 6 different divisions within the League that are organized geographically across the nation.

The Super Y League has its own identification program that has opened countless doors for players to be identified for U.S. National Team Programs.

Who competes in the Super Y-League? League membership is limited to a smaller amount of selective clubs to ensure consolidated talent and strong competition. Various local and out-of-state elite clubs are part of the League to make it one of the exclusive soccer leagues at a national level. Winners of the Super Y League regional divisions move on to play in the North American Finals, held the second week of December in Florida.

NoVA Majestics and HYS partnership: NoVA Majestics has been a long term member of the Super Y League. Herndon Youth Soccer has partnered with NoVA Majestics to create teams from elite players who will participate in the League this summer in order to enhance their individual development in the off season. You will find below specific information about the season and the new teams falling under the Majestics umbrella in the League. However, they will be trained locally in Herndon by the HYS technical staff.

What if League games conflict with the HYS club team schedule? The program coordinator and the coaching staff will do everything in their power to minimize any conflict between the League game schedule, Super Y program practices and the regular games/practices of the HYS club teams. This is one reason why the rosters are normally larger than usual. The player is encouraged to speak with their coach to let them know of any scheduling conflict.

Super Y Program Fee: It is $575 per player. It covers player’s registration, coaching fees, uniform (home/away jerseys), field usage fee, referee fee, and other league fees.

Player’s Fee will be paid either online or by check in three installments. $175 is due once an invitation from the coach is accepted. More information about the installment schedule and who to make the check out to will be provided by email to the parents once the teams are formed.
