TEAM SELECTION

GAMES

The season will consist of 6-12 games, depending on league instructions.  Half of the games are played at home at a DDYSC location and the other half away. This is a regional league; therefore, travel to regional areas of the Southeast should be expected. However, there are other Super-Y programs in Georgia, so some/most away games could be against those local Georgia opponents.

  • U13/U14/U15: 2 x 35 mins 
  • U16/U17: 2 x 40 mins

Once a player is substituted in the second half, they MAY re-enter the game only once during the rest of the regulation play. The total number of substitutions per half shall not exceed seven which shall not be altered for injury.

For age groups U11-U14, unlimited substitutions are permitted throughout the regular season and Finals.

COACHING STAFF

Coaching Staff will be selected by the DDYSC Director of Coaching & SYL Technical Director.  DDYSC will operate with an “open door coaching policy”, allowing coaches from other clubs to train DDYSC Super Y Teams.
