Welcome to the Super Y League

What is THE SUPER Y LEAGUE?

National Super Y League provides the opportunity for select players to continue playing at a higher level during the summer, while having the opportunity to qualify for the National Super Y Finals in December each year. Players are evaluated throughout the year and invited based on performance and coach recommendations to participate. Open tryouts for current and non-Inferno players will be held in early 2023. Players from any club affiliation are eligible to participate with Chicago Inferno for the SuperY Summer League. If you would like to request a tryout, email Technical Director Ewerton Andrade at Ewerton@chicagoinferno.net
