Super Y-League Royals Head to ODP National Camp
First-hand Look at Trials from Northern Virginia’s Gene Daniels
 United Soccer Leagues Super Y-League ODP National Camps for their ’92-’95 boys began this weekend at Ed Radice Sports Complex in Tampa, Florida. Joining six other Northern Virginia attendees, U16 Royal Gene Daniels gives a player’s perspective on the start of camp.
After arriving in Tampa and checking into Mainsail Suites Hotel on Wednesday afternoon, the seventh annual SYL ODP National Camps began with a 7:00AM (ET) breakfast Friday morning. After breakfast, players were bused to Ed Radice Sports Complex for their first of several training sessions with their teams. Players then broke for lunch from 11:30AM to 2:45 PM before competing in their first of four matches they competed over the weekend.
Daniels: As the players filed out of the introductory meeting, there was one word stirring in all of our minds. That word was professionalism. At a new headquarters, the Mainsail Suites, and new facilities, Ed Radice Park, USL Senior Director of Youth League Development Jeff McRaney stressed the fact that in order to be treated as professionals, we must carry ourselves like professionals. In an attempt to sift through the players, put together an all star game, and eventually choose the ODP National Select teams, the camp has taken new form.
