Eighty-five players participate in PDP hosted by Virginia NPL
The Virginia NPL, which entered the National Premier Leagues landscape two seasons ago, hosted its third Player Development Program (PDP) event, Aug. 8 at Capital Park in Richmond, Va.
A total of 85 players participated, which included elite 2001-02 girls and 2002-03 boys. Seventeen different clubs were represented.
Top performers will be invited to attend one of the fall id² Training Camps later this year. Dates and locations for both of those camps will be released in the coming days on usclubsoccer.org.
Aaron Brunner, U.S. Soccer Training Center liaison for Virginia, oversaw the girls groups. “The US Club Soccer PDP provided a tremendous opportunity for some of the top players in Virginia and within the Virginia NPL,” Brunner said. “The standard of play, willingness to improve and competitiveness displayed throughout the event was excellent.”
The Virginia NPL has tentative plans to host another PDP in December.
