General - Forwards - Preparation Overview
FORWARD The 2010 ODP Regional Championships were a great success; it was a festival of elite level youth soccer. The preparation and organization was flawless and I would like to offer my thanks and express my respect to all those who made the event possible. As for the actual play, I expected to see our Washington Youth Soccer /Sounders FC teams play attacking soccer and I was not disappointed. Its so easy to set out not to lose and have our players follow instructions but the culture of creativity and expression expected from all our employees and staff was transferred to our players on the field. I hope that you find this detailed analysis of the 2010 ODP Regional Championships lead by our Technical Director useful and I look forward to seeing you all on the field.
DOUG ANDREASSEN - PRESIDENT WASHINGTON YOUTH SOCCER
Doug Andreassen The 2010 ODP Regional Championships will always be known for intense, attractive soccer due to the performances and passion shown by our Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC players and staff. An average of 2.5 goals per game were scored by Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC teams during the Competition, this shows that the emphasis within our programs is on playing creative, exciting, and quality soccer.

FORWARD Gary J. White, Washington Youth Soccer Technical Director The story of our 1996 & 1995 boys winning a Regional Championship and our 1994 boys making the championship game would be an easy, and to be fair, a wonderful story to highlight as they were all fantastic. But, I must also praise the great work of our 1993, 1994, and 1995 girls for their stellar performances on the road to the semifinals. Additionally, Washington Youth Soccer and Sounders FC are also extremely proud of the 1993 boys and 1996 girls in the way they performed on and off the field. They were truly great ambassadors for our state and the Sounders FC Youth programs. As we continue to set standards in regards to performance, professionalism & development through our modern initiatives and our desire to lead the nation by example, I would like to thank all of our active supporters. This includes our technical staff, managers, administrators, and of course our parents & players for their continued commitment. This truly was an unbelievable weekend in terms of soccer development and education. Overall it was a memorable tournament for our programs , which was highlighted by the fantastic atmosphere our players created. This was in full view for all to see and we were commended by many for our good�natured solidarity that was evident between our teams during this marvelous festival of elite youth soccer. I would like to thank everyone who played their part.

FORWARD Darren Sawatzky, Sounders FC Director of Youth Development Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC youth trip to Phoenix for the 2010 Regional ODP Championships was a great success to build on for the future. By initiating the Regional Training Center (RTC) program, Washington Youth Soccer and Sounders FC have a true developmental tool for the benefit of the players in Washington State. Coupled with Sounders FC, the RTC program is a player centric, true professional concept for the modern player in Washington State. This success is the work of the RTC coaches from September, the ODP coaches through the fall, and the hard work of the players to really embrace the new concept. Winning is a very important piece to development but the incredible culture created by the players, teams, coaches, administrators, and Washington Youth Soccer Sounders FC supporters will not be forgotten any time soon. The future has been set for this competition and all of the training and competitive environments that Sounders FC and Washington Youth Soccer place players in for years to come. DARREN SAWATZKY
Not resting on the early success of this event, we will look to enhance, expand, and evolve newer and stronger player development strategies for the players in Washington Youth Soccer. Congratulations to all of the players that are and have been participating on all levels of the Sounders FC/Washington Youth Soccer ODP and RTC programs.
Darren Sawatzky GENERAL - FORWARDS | 5
PREPARATION OVERVIEW Regional Training Center Program (RTC) Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC Regional Training Centers were implemented in the fall of 2009. Our satellite training centers are strategically located around the State of Washington. The RTC programs have created a consistent training environment that assists our elite players to develop and grow. Once a week the very best young male and female players gather for quality training in a very competitive but fun training setting. Coaches are hand picked to ensure the very best people/coaches are working with the very best players. Coaches follow a training curriculum established by Washington Youth Soccer’s Technical Director and Sounders FC Director of Youth Development. The RTC program is also utilized to select Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC ODP player pools and coaching staff for our annual games and training schedule.
Pool Training Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC ODP Youth Team pools continue to train in preparation for our annual programming. Players and coaches are continually tracked and observed in order to make sure our best teams are constantly selected to represent our programs. The ODP pools focus on developing individual, group, and team weaknesses in preparation for each competition. Coaches work hard to ensure that the best training environment is created to foster development and the growth of our elite players. 6 | GENERAL -PREPARATION OVERVIEW
Focus Day To prepare our players physically, mentally, tactically and socially, Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC implemented for the first time, a “Focus Day� to further prepare our teams prior to departing for The Region IV Championships. Held at the Hilton Hotel, players arrived at specific times. Players were greeted by fellow team mates, coaches and administrators. After an initial address by Washington Youth Soccer & Sounders FC management the players dispersed into their groups to begin their competition schedule for the upcoming tournament. This program proved to be a huge success.
Continued Professional Development Workshops and seminars were implemented for our coaching staff and administrators leading up to the Regional Championships. These programs included best practice guidelines for team administrators and managers. Our sports science workshop discussions were lead by our sports science directors working on modern day player recovery and preparation strategies. All selected staff coaches attended continuous professional development workshops focusing on professionalism, expectations and game management in order to be more effective in dealing with game day crisis and game realities.

Overall Analysis - General Organization - Technical & Tactical Analysis
OVERALL ANALYSIS General Organization The organization of such a wildly popular event is time consuming even though the ODP Regional Championships lasts for just 4 days. Work for the tournament starts several months before. The Region IV LOC and Washington Youth Soccer’s Technical Department did a great job in the responsibilites of delivering hotels, training sites, media, facilities, transportation links, highly trained personnel, players safety and welfare infrastructure … the list is certainly impressive. The technical preparations by Washington Youth Soccer & Sounders FC for this event were the most extensive ever and from the outset we had one objective, organizational excellence. Leading up to the 2010 event there were weekly working meetings between Washington Youth Soccer & Sounders FC to discuss technical concepts, focusing on project planning, timeliness and the many other organizational aspects. Thanks must also go to the highly organized and competent members of our Technical Staff and the countless volunteers who were always ready with help and a smile. We would also like to express thanks to the numerous Washington Youth Soccer member clubs who worked together with us and supported their players and coaches during the selection and tournament process. We must not, of course, forget the protagonists in any soccer tournament, our teams. The focus on our teams certainly reached new levels in 2010. The introduction of Washington Youth Soccer’s / Sounders FC Regional Training Centers allowed for weekly consistent training in preparation for this tournament. Also this year the teams arrived together for a focus day prior to departing for the tournament to ensure expectations were highlighted. This time also allowed the coaches and players to complete any final strategic and tactical discussion in order for all members to completely understand their roles. 9 | OVERALL ANALYSIS - GENERAL ORGANIZATION
The players and staff ’s performances on and off the pitch were equally high‐class, with many exciting matches, lots of goals and memorable moments and behavior of true ambassadors for Washington Youth Soccer & Sounders FC. Finally, our congratulations go to the players who were selected to participate at the ODP Regional Championships an exhilarating soccer experience, and to the 95 & 96 boys teams for succeeding in becoming 2010 ODP Regional Champions.
Technical & Tactical For the 2010 ODP Region IV Championships the majority of Washington Youth Soccer’s/ Sounders FC Youth Teams opted for a conventional 1‐4‐4‐2 as their foundation while our 95 Boys & 94 Girls employed a 1‐4‐3‐3. In Phoenix there was a clear trend towards a zonal back four, with the majority of teams choosing this option and just a few states fielding an alternate three‐player defensive line. But even these teams often made a flexible transition to a four player back-line or a five player defense, depending on the needs of the game by dropping back one of their wide midfield players. Various formations were to be observed in midfield. The majority of our teams opted for the classical structure of two central midfielders in front of the two central defenders and two on the flanks. Advocates of this approach included the 94 Boys, 93 Boys, 96 Girls, 96 Boys, 95 Girls and to a certain extent our 93 Girls. Also evident during the course of the tournament was the modification to a diamond configuration featuring a central holding midfielder, two players tucked in from the flanks and an attacking player underneath the strikers.
The 95 Boys & 94 Girls placed their faith in a traditional 1‐4‐3‐3, in which a finely tuned rotating midfield triangle operated in front of the back four. In attack the 95 Boys & 94 Girls went with two attacking wingers tasked with creating width and openings to combine with the central striker. The longer the tournament went on the more cautious the play generally became. Many teams opted for a compact shape to avoid going behind with the exception of the 94, 95 and 96 Boys who continued to attack all the way into the finals. The 95 Girls semi ‐final was decided on a penalty shoot out, with our girls narrowly missing out after the referee allowed Cal South to retake a missed penalty kick making it a very controversial game. Our 93 Boys showed real heart and desire to complete their group stage program with a 3‐0 win which produced some very refreshing soccer and allowed them to bow out with their heads high.
OVERALL ANALYSIS - TECHNICAL & TACTICAL | 10
OVERALL ANALYSIS The Defensive Midfielder The emergence of a disciplined defensive midfield anchor who’s main task in this position was to support and stabilize the defense became a deciding factor during the competition. Primarily, this role was defined in terms of defensive attributes. Strong‐running, tough‐tackling players with vision and the ability to read a game such as Devon Eckberg from the 93 Girls, Prince Gundersen and Jordon Schweitzer from the 94 Boys, Duncan McCormick from the 95 Boys, and Luke Olney from the 96 Boys. These listed players are all outstanding examples of this effective breed of soccer player at this level.
11 | OVERALL ANALYSIS
Once possession has been won it is usually the creative players such as Maddy Schultz from the 96 Girls, Mohamed Dukuly from the 96 Boys, Jason Mcglothern, Henry Wingo, Michael Steele from the 95 Boys, Kara Marbury from the 95 Girls, Miranda Caballero from the 94 Girls, Odason Pelogi from the 94 Boys, & Aaron Kovar from the 93 Boys and Brittanee Randle from the 93 Girls who dictated their team’s attacking play. In today’s game the further teams advance inside the opposition half, the less space and time they have, so this type of player benefited from playing in a withdrawn position. It allows them to pull the strings, determining their team’s play with ingenuity and ideas.
Substitutions as a Tactical Measure This year’s tournament provided numerous examples of the effect substitutions can have on the course of a game and the eventual result. Tactical substitutions often added a new impetus to matches in which the two sides had neutralized each other. Fresh players with the courage to dribble and ability to raise the tempo changed the face of games and often conjured up deciding goals.
Youth Against Experience In the run‐up to the tournament a number of talented young players had been expected to shine including Maddy Schultz & Mohamed Dukuly, and they did not let us down. These players who had caught the eye at our Regional Training Centers and during pool training, featured in the starting line‐up and consistently impressed with their tenacity and goal threat. In conclusion, it is safe to say that there are a large number of very talented, promising young players developing from within Washington Youth Soccer’s programs.
The Significance of a 1‐0 Lead In all the matches we played at the 2010 Regional Championships apart from our (93 Boys loss against Utah (2‐3), when our teams scored the opening goal of the game we went on to win the match. There were very few goal less draws during the competition and there were only a couple of matches in which our teams came from behind to win, which included the championship game with our 96 Boys. The positive psychological aspect of having a lead was obvious and the principal reason why teams were anxious not to go behind, and thus generally operated with a solid defense initially. Taking the lead gave our teams a sense of security and allowed them to maintain their rhythm, which in the climate was particularly important. As a result, our teams did not often face the additional pressure of having to chase the game.
The Goal Keeper During the tournament some wonderful performances were witnessed from this integral position which resulted in keeping our teams in certain games and in the competition. Amongst the impressive displays were some memorable saves. Generally our Goalkeepers communication with their back lines was much improved from recent years as well as an obvious rise in their general technique which lead to fewer individual mistakes being made.

Story of the Championships - Tournament Overview - Post Championship Event
TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW Group Stages Six (6) out of our eight (8) competing age groups qualified to the semi‐final stage of the 2010 ODP Regional Championships, a new record for our state. The qualifying teams were: 96 Boys 95 Girls
The 94 Boys cruised by Arizona and finally our 93 Girls lost in a close game against eventual winners Colorado.
Championship Games Then there were three (3) - the first game of the day was our 1995 Boys who once again would face Cal South in the final. In 2009 our boys lost 2‐0 against this very team. History would not be repeated!
95 Boys 94 Girls 94 Boys 93 Girls Our 96 Girls team narrowly missed out on the semi‐ final on goal difference, but performed very well and gained some great experience from this tournament for their future years. The other team to not push through to the semi‐final stage were our 93 Boys who peaked just a little too late.
Semi‐finals With six (6) teams fighting for a place in the 2010 championship games, the expectations and excitement felt within the Washington camp was extremely motivating. All the teams who did not have games could be found on the sidelines of each of our the semi‐finals chanting “Seattle Sounders” which created a culture never seen before at this tournament. Our 96 Boys secured a place in the final with a comprehensive 3‐1 win over Oregon, our 95 Girls unfortunately missed out during a very controversial PK shoot out. The 95 Boys floated into the final with a 3‐0 win over Arizona and the 94 Girls lost to Utah.
14 | THE STORY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Our boys controlled the game from the start and came out on top 1‐0 due to a wonderful goal scored by James Molyneux Elliott and were crowned 2010 champions. Washington 94 Boys would also face Cal South in a very tight affair, unfortunately we came out a little short losing the game 2‐0. Then came another great game, the 96 Boys would find themselves 2‐0 down at half time, but due to some inspirational words by coach James Charette and his coaching staff our boys came out fired up and ready to compete, eventually winning the game 3‐2.

STAFF ASSISTANT COACH: DANIEL PINGREY ASSISTANT COACH: DAVID GRIFFITHS TEAM MANAGER: CINDY CHRISTENSEN
HEAD COACH: JAMES CHARETTE HOME: Olympia, WA
Coaches Analysis: Goal keeping: Need to stay connected with the team: moving forward and supporting the players as the ball advances, communicating early, understanding how to mark players early – the defensive players positioning, looking for different types of distribution, understanding when to counter on a quick punt and dealing with pass backs to switch the ball. Outside Backs: Understanding their position in relation to the ball and the area of the field, attacking out of the back – did not do this often – when and how – opening up to the field early to be prepared for a potential pass, squeezing the field to stay connected to the mid-fields sooner. Center Backs: Focusing on the game and not the ball – getting players marked and pushing players on, understanding their position in relation to the ball and the area of the field, opening up to the field early to be prepared for a potential pass, squeezing the field to stay connected to the mid-fields sooner, communicating with the center midfielders on marking.
Outside Midfielders: They lacked understanding of tucking in on the far side, communicating with the outside back to help mark and push on to the next player, tracking and for some being goal-side, combining with players, varying the service on the sides, supporting the outside backs. Center Midfielders: Positioning in the middle – they tended to push too far forward or to the side, organize the midfielders ahead of the them or push players on, tracking, positioning to be a ball distributor, changing the point of attack and help develop a rhythm to the game. Forwards: Mobility and the importance to maintain possession of the ball, connecting the next pass (receiving the ball on the attacking half and the importance of making the next pass), ideas of combination play with each other or the midfielders and defensively consistent pressure on the ball or working together to stir the play towards their teammates.

HEAD COACH: ERIC OMAN HOME: SEATTLE WA
Coaches Analysis: We built our foundation on the history in Washington of strong, organized defending and worked on having the attitude of taking great pride in our defending. Only allowing 1 goal through the tournament, we were proud of our accomplishments there. The team started games in a 1-4-4-2 formation, but we pushed a defender forward or substituted a defender for an attacking player in each game to press and try to find a winning goal. We finished 2 games in a 1- 3-5-2 formation and 1 game in a 1-3-4-3.
We had stressed with the players some basic fundamentals of the game to allow us to be flexible with formations to adapt easily within games and this strategy worked well as we were able to adjust and continue to increase pressure on our opponents in each game.
Unfortunately, despite being dominant in terms of possession and chances on goal in each game, we were unable to finish our chances and that was the greatest weakness of our team.

HEAD COACHES: GARY WHITE & DARREN SAWATZKY HOME: SEATTLE WA
Coaches Analysis: The quality of our individual technical performance developed as the competition played out, and it was clear to see that our players would compete for the later stages in this competition. As was the case in the final we grew stronger and more composed during each game and the players ability to read the game and select what was required from each situation was truly remarkable. During the weekend we showed excellent defensive organization and structure. Our combination of technique, speed, strength and individuality was added to our high levels of effort and intensity, this placed us as the hardest team to brake down in the competition.
We need to work on our ability to defend crosses and stay focused especially during aerial duels; our heading in general needs much attention. Our team demonstrates a good level of tactical & strategic understanding, this lead to easier role definition within our different units & lines through out the team. During the competition we played a 1 – 4- 3- 3 system of play with some modifications to the needs of the game and opposition.

Coaches Analysis: Team Strengths -
Team Weaknesses -
Organization. We played a 1-4-4-2 most of the time and seemed to be pretty well organized, especially defensively.
Speed of play. Ability to play quickly and effectively. We tended to take longer than needed to make decisions or had technical breakdown’s which didn’t allow us to play quickly. I would also like to see us improve in our decision making of when to keep possession and when to go forward and take risks.
We had some great individual efforts and also had great team chemistry. The girls played hard as a team and did a great job of being cohesive both on and off the field.
We tended to force things when we didn’t need to.

Outstanding players THOMPSON JORDON GUNDERSEN PRINCE PELOGI ODASON
STAFF ASSISTANT COACH: MICHAEL MACHONIE TEAM MANAGER: MICHAEL MORRIS
HEAD COACH: ANTHONY SARDON HOME: SEATTLE WA
Coaches Analysis: The overall team strategy was to create as many scoring opportunities via dynamic movement on and off the ball. Constantly, create advantages using wide defenders and center backs. Defensively, are shape was constructed always to dictate play and keep the opposition as far away from our goal as possible. The overall team dynamics lead for a successful weekend in cooperation on the field. This was seen especially in the build-up and counterattacking phases. The individual quality of some of the players allowed for successful tactical adjustments to take place when players were either suspended due to ejection or injuries. This helped us when we changed from a 1-4-4-2 into a 1-4-2-3-1. The individual quality of some of the players also allowed for a balance of combination play and 1v1. attacking. Players such as Odason Pelogi, Prince Gundersen, Jordan Thompson, and Hugo Mora allowed for this. The team was very strong up the middle of the line-up with Odason Pelogi as a target
forward, Jordan Thompson as a shadow striker, Jordan Schweitzer as a holding central midfielder and Michael Gallagher as a center back. Odason Pelogi’s creativity on the ball and penetrating runs dropped the oppositions back line allowing us to have more room in the midfield. His tireless running also allowed us to dictate play defensively. Jordan Thompson’s ability to cover ground and get behind defenses was a perfect compliment with Pelogi’s. He also is a very strong finisher and dangerous running out of the withdrawn forward spot. Jordan Schweitzer’s tremendous calming presence in the midfield allowed the team to settle down during high pressured moments during the game. He also possesses a great range in the midfield and is a good tackler. His leadership skills are also unique for a player so young. He was the pulse of the team and did a great job dictating tempo as well. Michael Gallagher was fantastic in his ball winning and did a great in possession. His touch and creative allows for him to step up into the midfield and create a numerical superiority into the attack. Gallagher is tremendous 1v.1 defender with great timing and balance.

STAFF ASSISTANT COACH: MARTY GARVIN TEAM MANAGER: JILL FULLER
HEAD COACH: ZAHRA LECHAK HOME: SEATTLE WA
Coaches Analysis: In preparation up to Arizona I started implementing 1-4-3-3. We really focused on our midfield shape and linkage from midfield to our shadow striker, central striker and wingers in the final third. I wanted to really work on movement which allowed for good functional training specific to roles and areas of operation on the field. We really focused on simple play but effective play (1-2 touch) in all 1/3s of the field. I wanted to get across the discipline in playing a 1-4-3-3 which in most roles requires good technical ability and patience and lastly work rate on and off the ball has to be extremely HIGH at all times. Team Strategies: Keep possession at all times. Only direct if counter-attack was on. Look to play out of back with our fullbacks and look to link up with our shadow striker/wingers. Wingers need to look to take on 1v1. Look to switch POA and not force the play. Get at least 3 people in the box when ball is on the wing.
Strengths: Great shape- Depth and Width from fullbacks to our wingers. Had great linkage from our shadow striker to the central striker. Wingers did a good job taking on 1v1. Great goals with good build ups. Weakness: Shadow striker and attacking center-mid need to link better with wingers. Wingers need to recognize when to take on 1v1 or look to get early service in box. Defensively 1v1 defending was poor (diving in). Better cover in back. Injuries- Our Gk and Central Striker got concussions in the first game. (out for tournament) and we lost two other players during the tournament in the early stages.

STAFF ASSISTANT COACH: DENNIS SANCHEZ TEAM MANAGER: LYNN NATHE
HEAD COACH: DANNY JACKSON HOME: BELLVUE, WA
Coaches Analysis: The team was mentally prepared, but we did not perform in the first game. The effort, energy, and desire seemed to be missing. We lacked quality in many areas, and I was surprised at the inability of the players to react to the circumstances during the first half. If our technical quality was missing, I was very clear on the basic expectations - effort, determination, attitude. We changed the formation and tactics at half time. We went to a 1- 4-4-2 and tried to play with 2 strikers, and again a little more defensive cover in the wide positions. We were not holding the ball in the middle of the field, and I asked them to play a little more direct, to put Oregon on the back foot. We played much better in the second half.
The changes gave us much more balance, and we played with much more desire and energy. The conversations and preparation helped put us in the right frame of mind. The third game, we maintained the same positivity, and built upon the positive aspects of the previous game. We were dominant in the game, and really played well. We began to show the quality that we possessed and the energy and attitude required to play at that level. We were beginning to sync, and the boys were beginning to buy into our philosophies. We kept things simple, maintained a commitment to giving our very best, and focusing on the team and not the individual.
We took a little time to discuss the game, both as a team, and with specific individuals. We played a 1-4-4-2 in the second game, and moved some guys around. We had more strength in the middle of midfield to impose a presence there, we added some speed, up-front.

Coaches Analysis: Game 1 v Oregon Our plan was to pressure their backs and either win the ball off them, or win it in the middle of the park and find our tucked in wide mids with the first pass, leading to a quick counter. If the counter wasn’t on, we wanted to establish spacing and possession in their half, maintain balance and try to pick them apart with precise passing. It was a fairly even game. We did pressure their right back into a mistake. Game 2 v Nevada We planned to man mark their two key players in order to prevent them from having an impact. We scored with high pressure. Nevada had very few chances as our back 4 was solid for their second shutout in a row. Game 3 v Cal North We had already won the group before this game started. We wanted to conserve energy, rest our key players as much as possible but not lose our rhythm or style of play. We kept our same shape, but played
low pressure, meeting them at the center circle in their half. We also tried to possess as much as possible and get them to chase. This was a great game for us to establish ourselves as a possession team, as we moved the ball around very well. Game 4 v Colorado (Semi-Final) We did a good job staying organized and compact to minimize the effect of their National Team forwards and deal with their size. However, we were again unable to successfully make adjustments and gave up corners too easily against a much bigger team. We were left to play on the counter attack, which was difficult because our wide players were coming back too far defensively. Colorado scored both goals off corners!
