Tampa, FL (November 2, 2009) - The United Soccer Leagues announced the list of players that were nominated and selected for the 2009/10 Super Y-League ODP National Camps and eleven Long Island Rough Riders have been selected to participate.

On the boys side, Jonathan Rivera (’95/96), Demetri Tsiakos and Gianpolo Lisena (’94) were chosen, while Natasha Albanese (’95/96), Courtney Davis, Taylor Groth (’94), Katie Hyland, Christina Cassamassina, Alexandra Festa, and Lauren Bellone (’93) were selected on the girls side. 

These players will take part in a five-day camp in Tampa, Florida this March.

Shannon Fay (’91/92) has been named a Super Y-League National ODP Player and added to a National Select pool that will be promoted to over 1000 colleges as well as to the USSF National Staff.

Players selected were identified during their seasons as one of the top players in their birth year and among the top 2% in the Super Y-League.

"It is a great opportunity and a great honor for these players to participate in front of National Team coaches," said Rough Riders Director of Coaching John Diffley. "The Super Y-League provides many players with an excellent opportunity to make our National programs.  We are proud of all the Junior Rough Riders selected."

This camp represents an elite group of players coming together to display their soccer talent and work ethic to collegiate and national team scouts. The ODP focus groups this year will be for the top players (216 Girls & 216 Boys) born in either 1993, 1994, or a combination of 1995/1996 players.
