The Millville Soccer Association and Millville Pride U12 Girls Soccer Team are proud to announce that four of its players were selected into the 2015-2016 N.J. Young Olympians Program. Olympic Development Program (ODP) groups selected players from around the region and state to participate in an elite training program. ODP is run by nationally licensed coaches and trainers from professional clubs with the goal to provide an opportunity for players to train beyond their local teams and ultimately prepare them to play at the highest levels.
Following the tryout process, Millville Pride had four of their players make the team. Three players, Olivia Giordano, Jayme Sooy and Julianna Giordano made the team for a second consecutive year. Mary Greco will join them as a first time participant. The four will begin training in February at Rowan University and will have the opportunity to tryout later in the spring for the second tier of the program which would allow them to train with the Sky Blue FC Women's Professional team and qualify automatically for the ODP program in 2017.
