Selected players, 99 girls and 96 boys, will continue to be monitored during their club seasons, as well as during SYL Finals in December, for the opportunity to be chosen to take part in the 2017 USL Experience at San Antonio. The USL Experience provides an unprecedented look into professional American soccer. This multi-day residential experience follows a professional training format and will offer SYL players the opportunity to compete against some of the highest-level youth competition in the country. Invitations to the 2017 USL Experience with San Antonio FC are set to be revealed in January.

The U.S. Technical Championship (USTC) serves as a national platform for U10-U12 and U13-U14 SYL players. During the RSS Events, these players competed in the Rene Meulensteen Technical Testing, and they were selected for the USTC National Player Pool, making them eligible to be invited to compete at the USTC. Invitations to USTC, set to be announced in September, will be given out by the Rene Meulensteen Academy.
