|
Jack Lakey, Alex Berumen, & Taylor Green from Larry Green's U15 team have recently been selected for the Arkansas pool of the Olympic Development Program. This highly selective group will train and compete to become a part of the Arkansas ODP team, which will compete against other State ODP teams in the Southern Region this July. Highest selected players will be chosen from these games to comprise the Region III ODP Team which will advance to ODP Nationals where team USA will be established for each age division.
This is a lengthly and highly competitive process that requires dedication and a lot of hard work. We are very proud of these boys for taking this first step and wish them the best of luck.
