“It is because of all their remarkable efforts in guiding and developing these players that Cal South PRO+ | ODP gets an opportunity to show the rest of the country, on both a regional and national level, how rich Southern California is in soccer talent.”
Hoffman goes on to praise the work that every club with a PRO+ | ODP Program player goes through each season. He maintains that clubs should be proud of the work being done with all players, not just with the players traveling to Phoenix for the 2023 program:
“The players who have been chosen for this event have been selected from clubs in Southern California no matter what league they play in. It shows how much talent in Southern California. All of the clubs, coaches, and parents should be extremely proud of the job the clubs are doing with player development.”
