United Soccer Leagues announced that Northern Virginia Royals owner Mo Sheta will be inducted as a Builder, and that former USL First Division championship foes Amos Magee and Pat Onstad were selected for induction into the USL Hall of Fame as Players at the 2008 USL Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the USL SoccerFest in Tampa, FL November 21.
MO SHETA
An owner of the Royals for over 10 years, Sheta helped found the club in the USL Second Division in 1998 and watched over eight professional seasons, working closely with nearby DC United in player development. Focused on player development, Sheta has worked closely with the independent Northern Virginia Majestics W-League team in developing the sport in the community and moved the Royals to the PDL in 2006.
In addition, Sheta and the Royals were one of the original 16 members of the Super Y-League in 1999, making them one of the earliest USL clubs to make a commitment to player development at the elite youth level. Following the theme of pioneers, the Royals were also among the inaugural members of the 2006 launch of the USL Super-20 League.
The club’s model of development has seen significant progress on and off the field, reaching the overall, boys and girls categories in the annual SYL First 11 rankings in 2007 and 2008. As a club, the Royals/Majestics reached the First 11 plateau in 2007 at number 10 overall with the boys and girls programs each finishing in the Second 11. In the regular season edition of the 2008 rankings, the club climbed to sixth in the overall and boys tables and was 16th in the girls.
