United Soccer Leagues announced today the creation of the USL Super-20 League, a new league designed as a graduating youth league for elite players from 17-20 as they advance beyond the traditional youth bracket to the senior professional and amateur development leagues. The league will debut this summer with teams representing all levels of US and Canadian soccer from elite youth clubs to first division professional teams in the US and Canada.

The Ocean City Barons will compete in the Mid-Atlantic Division. This division has been divided into three flights and teams positioned according to their geographic location. The Barons will play home and away fixtures against DC United (MD), Reading Rage (PA), Hockessin (DE), and the Northern Virginia Royals (VA). The winner out of each flight will advance to the Sper 20 National Finals. The Barons will begin their campaign for a national title against Reading on Wednesday May 31, 2006 away form home at Exeter High School.
