Samantha DeVecchi of Orinda went to Florida to train with U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Developmental Program (ODP) National Team from Jan. 22-26. DeVecchi was one of four chosen from Northern California in an age group of 60 participants.
DeVecchi, a Miramonte sophomore, talked about her experience at the camp. "This was a great opportunity for me," she explained.
She also said the six days of immersion was an educational experience. "The training was intense, fast, physical and grueling, but fun at the same time."
