December 1, 2015

FRISCO, Texas (Dec. 1, 2015) – US Youth Soccer is proud to announce the US Youth Soccer ODP All-Star teams for the 2015 US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (US Youth Soccer ODP) Girls Thanksgiving Interregional, which recently took place Nov. 22-27 at Spanish River Athletic Park and Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla. Of the nearly 400 players that participated in the event, five rosters were constituted based on outstanding performance – one for each of the 1998 through 2002 age groups.

The top goal scorer of the week was Region II’s Kalyssa Van Zanten from the 2001 age group with five goals. Katherine O'Kane (2002-RIV), Marykate McGuire (2000-RI), Kristina Lynch (1999-RII) and Sydney Spruill (1998-RIII) topped their age groups with three goals each. Region III won the most games out of any other Region, with ten wins across all age groups. Region II took the top of the standings in the 1999, 2001 and 2002 age groups, and Region III took the top of the standings in the 1998 and 2000 age groups.

The US Youth Soccer ODP Girls Thanksgiving Interregional featured players that were selected from US Youth Soccer State Association and Regional level evaluations. Throughout the event players attended training sessions and competed in matches in front of U.S. Soccer national staff and collegiate coaches for the opportunity to be selected to a higher level of play. In addition to player development and meaningful competition, players and coaches received a goalkeeping session from U.S. Soccer coaches Kelsey Davis and Graeme Abel. U.S. Soccer’s April Kater, Tricia Taliaferro, Mary Francis Monroe, BJ Snow and Mark Carr and others were watching the players throughout the week.

With programs in all 55 US Youth Soccer State Associations, US Youth Soccer ODP, the original Olympic development program, is available to any player. US Youth Soccer ODP is the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer, the National Women’s Soccer League, and the majority of current and past national and youth national team members, as alumni.
