Getting ready for ODP Championships

With nearly 350 player trying out, far more than any year in the history of Alaska Youth Soccer, the new ADP program is proving a great success.  From the tryouts approximately 300 players were selected to continue training this fall in preparation for Nomads and now on the premier event, ODP Region IV Championships January 9-12 in Phoenix.
Alaska is sending nine teams: 97/98/99/00/01 boys and 98/99/00/01 girls.  Sixteen players from each birth year were selected to represent Alaska competing against the best players from sixteen Western states.This means a traveling party of 144 players, ten coaches, ten managers, and another 100 enthusiastic parents ready to cheer us on. Hope Phoenix is ready for us!
