TAMPA – The United Soccer Leagues Super Y-League announced today the selections for the 2006 Super Y-League North American Finals Teams. First and Second team selections represent the top individual performances of teams who continued their regional achievements with success at the top youth soccer league in North America.

Schulz Academy would like to congratulate the following players for being selected: Sekani Sinclair, Nicolas Rodriguez-Fraile, Michael Hornat, Stefan Jerome, Donovan Henry, Hasani Sinclair, Edvin Worley (U16 Boys MVP), Shawn Barry, and Andre Mittoo.

Selections were based on the evaluation of the opposing coaching staffs during head-to-head play and were calculated by the USL for final selection. As part of the Super Y-League Olympic Development Program (ODP) system, the North American Finals is an approved ODP event of US Soccer. Players selected to the All-Super Y-League North American Finals First Team earn invitations to the Super Y-League ODP National Camp, where they will be further evaluated by US National Team Staff. Players named MVP of the North American Finals also gain instant access to the exclusive event.

The North American Finals, held in conjunction with United Soccer Leagues Annual General Meeting, was a resounding success on several fronts. For the first time in Super Y-League history teams from the U.S. Soccer hotbed of Southern California tested their alleged supremacy against the rest of North American Soccer. Southern California held true on the girls’ side of the pitch, winning four of the five divisions. The remainder of the United States and Canada held their own in the most competitive finals to date.
