Each player selected was identified as one of the top players in his age group and among the top two percent of players in the Super-Y League.

  The following FC United players were selected (Listed by birth year):  1993:  Anthony Cedeno, Steven Danforth 1995: Carey Menifee  1996: Evan McVicker, Nicholas Weber 1997: Tim McGlynn, Bryan Mejia.

   The ODP Program, which brings together top players from across the United States and Canada, is a crucial component of the USL Super Y-League, offering the best players from the U13 to U17 age groups a chance to receive top-quality coaching and the opportunity to be scouted by U.S. National Team and college coaches. This year’s ODP age groups will feature the top players (192 girls & 192 boys) born in either 1995/96 or 1997/98.  The additional lists of players born in 1993/94 (non-camp selections) are posted to recognize the top players from those birth years. The list will be promoted to more than 1,000 colleges, the USSF National Staff and the Canadian Soccer Association.

  The camps are held annually at the world-class 400 acre campus and facilities of IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida, home to the U.S. Soccer U-17 Residency Program. USL National Technical Director Peter Mellor, who has spent the past 18 years as a member of the U.S. National Staff and 25 years as an ODP coach, will direct the camps.

  In its first year of competing in Super-Y, the elite summer all-star league, FC United has clearly established itself as a top national competitive program with the selection of so many players to this elite program.  The club was also recently selected as a Top 20 National Boys Program Club by USL which is a significant achievement, especially for a first year Super-Y program.

  Super-Y Director of Coaching Adam Allee stated, “We are very proud of the teams that competed in the first ever Super-Y program in North Florida.  We definitely brought the highest level of play to the area and saw players compete and grow by being challenged both at training and matches.  The ODP nominations are a testament to the players’ hard work, and we are very proud of all of the selected players, as it was well deserved, and we wish them the best of luck at the National Camp.”

  FC United will conduct tryouts for the next Super-Y season starting in February.  Details for this as well as all FC United programs can be found at: www.fcunited.net.
