Carolina Dynamo Super Y- League Super- 20’s

Greensboro Youth Soccer and the Carolina Dynamo are pleased to announce a partnership for operation and management of the Super- 20’s. The Super-20’s has an amazing draw. The majority of the players selected will be from the area colleges. Remaining players will come from the Greensboro SC, which will create the unique opportunity for their youth players to grow up in the environment of senior teams. Super-20 players will train with the PDL and some will have the opportunity to play on the PDL team. This allows the ability to move players up to the PDL as they prove themselves ready for the competition.
