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.
