TAMPA, FL - United Soccer Leagues
announced today the Super Y-League Olympic Development Program
Select Teams for the U14 and U15 Girls SYL ODP National Camps held
last weekend at the Cocoa Expo Center in Cocoa, Florida.
The first set of girls camps featured U14 and U15 players
with 52 of the nearly 250 players being named to SYL ODP Select
Teams upon review by the SYL Scouting System and SYL ODP National
Camp Technical Director Perry Van Der Beck.
"The girls did an excellent job this weekend," said Van Der
Beck. "Their performances were impressive, which made the selection
process for the Select Teams very difficult."
Players were evaluated on their technique, tactics, fitness
and psychology and will receive written reports for feedback on
their performances.
The SYL ODP National Camps continue with U16-U17 Boys January
28-30 and U16-U17 Girls February 4-6.
The upcoming U16-U17 SYL ODP National Camp will feature the
US U17 National Team residency program, based in Bradenton, Florida,
competing in two matches against select players from the SYL U17 and
U16 camps, providing a unique opportunity for the nation's top SYL
players to show their talent in direct relation to those in the
current US U17 player pool.
