A little about the Super Y-League ODP National Camps:  Over the course of the season, the top players in the USL SuperY-League were selected by the ODP Scouting System to attend the ODP NationalCamp. During an intense three-day combine at the ODP National Camp, players were evaluated by ODP Staff Coaches and US Soccer National Coaching Staff for U.S. National Team Programs. During this time, players will learn the demands to compete at the highest levels of the game. In addition to the primary focus of identifying players to U.S. National Team Programs, many collegiate coaches will be scouting players for college soccer programs.
