KICKERS RANKED AMONG TOP CLUBS IN SUPER Y-LEAGUE
Richmond, VA – (Friday, November 9, 2007) – United Soccer Leagues announced recently the preliminary Super Y-League First and Second 11 Club rankings for the 2007 season, recognizing the Richmond Kickers as one of the top competitive and administrative clubs.  The Richmond Kickers Super Y-League program ranks ninth on the Second 11 list on both the overall Clubs and Girls categories.
The Super Y-League launched a new club ranking system in 2005 with the top clubs ranked from one through 22 and separated into the First and Second 11. With the extensive growth of the second-year USL Super-20 League, the 2007 rankings also include a club’s performance in the new league. This system publicizes the top 22 clubs in both the boys and girls categories as well as overall. The rankings are based primarily upon the on-field results – winning percentage accounting for 70 percent of the score. Minimum standards and operations complete the other 30 percent.
KICKERS SYL HONORED BY LEAGUE
 Tuesday, June 12
TAMPA – The South Atlantic Division of United Soccer Leagues Super Y-League took center stage this past weekend by opening regular season play with a cluster of games between Triangle FC and the Richmond Kickers. The Kickers ultimately won the seven game war but not without losing a battle.
The Richmond Kickers Technical Director and USL Second Division midfielder Ihor Dotsenko, who is preparing to play in tonight’s U.S Open Cup Match with the 2006 PDL Champion Michigan Bucks, serves the Kickers organization on several levels.
“The professional team is a good opportunity for the kids in our youth system to have something to strive towards,” said Dotsenko Tuesday morning. “Having the professional players as coaches allows the guys to see they have quality leadership. It is very tangible for them to watch us play and then interact with us as their coach the next day. It is important for us to be good role models for them.”

OVERVIEW OF SUPER Y LEAGUE
The Super Y-League was formed by United Soccer Leagues (USL) in 1999 to address the need for a national youth league to further develop the upper 1% of youth soccer players throughout the United States. Instead of having talented players spread out among several local clubs and playing against each other in local leagues, the Super Y-League promotes bringing together the best possible players within each city to compete against teams of similar talent within their region in a home and away format. The USL is positioning the Super Y-League to be the most competitive youth league in the United States.
