The Region II Showcase benefits players by allowing them the opportunity to be identified as Region II Pool Players for the subsequent year, giving them the chance to expose their talents to some of the country’s top college coaches, and by providing them an opportunity to earn the right to represent Region II at the 2016 US Youth Soccer ODP Championships (1999 and 2000 age groups). Select Boys and Girls players in the 1998 through 2002 age groups will also be further identified and selected by Region II coaching staff to attend the 2015 US Youth Soccer ODP Region II ID Camps held July 12-16 at Sportscore Two in Rockford, Ill.
Players try out for the high-level US Youth Soccer ODP through a series of trials at their US Youth Soccer State Association. Those selected are exposed to some of the nation's best coaches, trainers and facilities.
US Youth Soccer ODP is the original Olympic development program and the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer and National Women’s Soccer League, as well as a majority of current and past national and youth national team members, as alumni. With programs in all 55 State Associations, as well as regional and national championships and participation in international tournaments, US Youth Soccer ODP continues to offer development and exposure opportunities to any player, regardless of hometown or club affiliation.
