Several existing staff have also received title changes while remaining within the SYL, including Dominic Colarusso - as Manager of Youth League Growth and Development - and Kevin Minkovitz - as Coordinator of Youth League Operations.

“In an exciting time for the Super Y League, we begin by thanking Jason Collister for his incredible work while a part of the league’s front office. His promotion to the Premier Development League is well-deserved and he will be an asset to that league in his new role,” said Joel Nash, Vice President of the SYL and PDL. “Joining our operations team is Katie Middleton, who will assume many of Jason’s responsibilities. Katie has already slotted in to the organization brilliantly and will continue to shine moving forward.
