TWO KENDALL SC PLAYERS NAMED TO SUPER-Y SELECT TEAMS Jasmine Paterson and Mauricio Valderruten Given the League's Top ODP Honor February 10, 2008 - United Soccer Leagues wrapped up its Super Y-League ODP National Camps of the 2008 season at the Cocoa Expo Center with the identification of the’92 and ‘93/’94 SYL Select Teams. Among the 36 boys and girls players selected from the '93/'94 age groups were two Kendall SC members - Jasmine Paterson (U15G White) and Mauricio Valderruten (U15B White). For Paterson it marks the second consecutive year in which she has been named to the Select Team. Last year she was selected as a defender and this year as a forward.
The Super Y-League ODP system began in 2003 to identify a pool of players in each age group of the league for identification to U.S. National Team Programs; and to utilize the clubs system in the United States to identify players. During the regular season over a series of matches, players are evaluated for tactical, physical and psychological characteristics that will determine their ability to attend the ODP National Camp held in January and February of 2007. Through the national scouting system, the clubs contain select individuals that serve as the scouts for the league. These individuals are comprised of coaches and technical directors of the clubs.
