They competed with and against some of the top players from across the country (and beyond!) and did an amazing job. So proud of these two and all their hard work on and off the field! Shay and the 2012 girls won the Cup, and Kyler and the 2011 team finished second.
“I learned so many ways to play, and that I have a lot to improve on. There were so many talented girls on my team and opposing teams, including international ones! I will always remember the stressful but fun championship with all the crazy stuff, including double overtime and PKs. It was a challenge, but we won!” – Shay
“Shay’s experience with the national ODP team was truly transformative. It challenged her in ways she’d never experienced before—both physically and mentally. Competing and training at such a high level helped her grow tremendously as an athlete. She learned so much, not just about the game, but about herself. One of the most special parts was getting to know teammates from all over the country and building friendships and connections that will last far beyond the field.”- Shay’s mom
“I really enjoyed the high level of coaching I received. It was fun to play with such talented players from all across the country. I feel that I learned a lot and grew as a player.” -Kyler
“The team blended well together over the course of the tournament. Shay mentioned that the coaches were very easy to understand in what they were teaching/instructing.”- Kyler’s parents
“Indiana is very proud of these two players. They represented their clubs, state, region, and country on a big stage and did it with greatness,” said Indiana ODP Director Todd Sheely. “We look forward to seeing their young careers mature.”
