TAMPA — United Soccer Leagues announced today the final player selections for the Super Y-League’s ODP National Camps to be held at Ed Radice Sports Complex in Tampa, Florida. The first of two camps will begin on Thursday, February 19 and run through Sunday, February 22. That camp will consist of three girls’ groups: the oldest group will include girls born in 1992, the second group will be players who were born in 1993 and the youngest group will contain a combination of players born in 1994/1995.
The boys’ camp will be held the following weekend, beginning on Thursday, February 26 and continuing through Sunday, March 1. That camp will also consist of three groups, broken down into 1992 born players, 1993 born players and 1994/1995 born players.
Selections from the 2008 season were made from the identification system by the Super Y-League National ODP Scouting Staff. The selection process was then finalized by the ODP Staff Coaches and assembled by the USL office.
“The Super Y-League ODP National Camps have propelled players from our league into U.S. Youth National Team Camps for successive years,” said USL Senior Director of Youth League Development, Jeff McRaney. “They also provide opportunities for elite players in the U.S. and Canada to be identified by top university programs and by our international partners, West Ham United.”
U.S. National Team Staff will be in attendance at this year’s Super Y-League ODP National Camps beginning in January and February of 2008 in Cocoa, Florida, for further identification of players.
