NPSL Mens Team

(February 1, 2006, TAMPA, FL) On Sunday, the USL Super Y-League concluded a highly successful 2006 Olympic Development Program National Camp for U13 and U14 Boys in Cocoa, FL this past week. The top players from the Super Y-League 2005 season in each of the divisions coast-to-coast participated in four days of extensive training, matches, and player-education seminars. The highlight of the event was the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team competing in two matches against select players for the ODP National Camp.

The event was specifically designed to identify players for US National Team Programs. US Soccer National Team and Staff Coaches, in conjunction with the league's ODP technical staff, evaluated players for the various US Soccer Youth National Teams. In addition to these player identification opportunities, many coaches from top collegiate programs around the United States scouted for their next recruiting class.

The event also contained leading speakers on topics involving sports psychology and fitness training. Dr. Greg Dale, a well-known sports psychologist and the Mental Training Coach for Duke University athletics, spoke with the players on motivation and mental strength. Also speaking to the players was Dan Barlow, a specialist in plyometric and strength training from Silver Spring, MD.

"It's a great environment to be around great players. You're playing with the best players, and then to top it off, you're playing against the National Team," said Tom Serratore, U13 SYL ODP National Camp player.

At the completion of the event, the top players were recognized and selected to the USL Super Y-League ODP Select Team. These teams consist of the top players selected by the ODP Technical Staff and US Soccer National Staff based on their performance at the ODP National Camp. These players will be recommended to US Soccer Youth National Team Staff, and may be involved in future domestic and international events.

"We [USL] were pleased that this ODP National Camp, the second camp this year, operated extremely well. The ODP coaching staff, US Soccer, and coaches that attended thought that this was first-class, well operated event," added Super Y-League Director, Matt Weibe.

Two more National ODP Camps remain. The first set of Girl's National ODP Camps begins this Thursday, and the younger Girl's conclude next week.
