The league
Elite summer soccer.
Founded in 1999, Super Y is a nationwide youth soccer summer league operated by the United Soccer Leagues (USL), the largest organization of elite soccer leagues in North America.
Affiliated with US Soccer, the Super Y League contains the youth academies of Major League Soccer clubs, USL pro clubs, premier development league and W-League clubs. Divisions within Super Y are organized geographically and membership in the league is only limited to a few elite programs to ensure strong competition.
The Super Y League has its own ODP identification program that has opened countless doors for players to be identified for the US National Team Program.
Why play with WCOB
One badge, all summer.
Playing under WCOB
Every Super Y team we field plays under the WCOB FC badge. From the 2026 season onward, players train, compete and are identified as WCOB FC across every age group — the same club identity worn at all of our other programs. The program ran under the name OBSC through the 2025 season, and that pathway continues as WCOB FC.
Where we compete
Competitive summer training leads into regional games across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Michigan. WCOB is one of only six Illinois clubs in the program.
The season
When we play, and who.
Training starts in June with two weekly sessions in Oak Brook. Each team plays 6–8 games, scheduled to finish by mid-August. Dates may change if directed by the Super Y League office.
At the end of summer, league winners qualify for the USL Super Y Finals held in early December in Florida. Teams who qualify for the Super Y Finals are required to travel to Florida in December to compete — failure to do so could result in large fines.
Most league games use a tournament format at neutral sites, with multiple games in one weekend. Nearby opponents may also play single games. Players from any club may participate without a release.
Players are not penalized for missing some practices or games during summer vacations.
