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 semifi nals.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 fi eld. 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 werecommended 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 benefi t 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.
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 theSounders FC/Washington Youth Soccer ODP and RTC programs.Darren Sawatzky

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 selectWashington 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 inpreparation 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.

GENERAL - PREPARATION OVERVIEW | 7
To prepare our players physically, mentally, tactically and socially, Washington Youth Soccer / Sounders FC implemented for the fi rst 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 specifi c times. Players were greeted byfellow 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.
Workshops and seminars were implemented for our coaching staff and administrators leading up to the Regional Championships. These programs included best practiceguidelines for team administrators and managers. Our sports science workshop discussions were lead by our sports science directors working on modern day playerrecovery and preparation strategies.
All selected staff coaches attended continuous professional development workshops focusing on professionalism, expectations and game management in order to be more eff ective in dealing with game day crisis and game realities.

- Technical & Tactical 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 YouthSoccer & Sounders FC for this event were the most extensive ever and from the outset we had oneobjective, organizational excellence. Leading up to the 2010 event there were weekly workingmeetings 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 clubswho worked together with us and supported their players and coaches during the selection and tour-nament 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 todeparting for the tournament to ensure expectations were highlighted. This time also allowed the coaches and players to complete any fi nal strategic and tactical discussion in order for all members to completely understand their roles.
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.

OVERALL ANALYSIS
OVERALL ANALYSIS - TECHNICAL & TACTICAL | 10
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 Girlsemployed 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 fi elding an alternate three‐player defensive line.
But even these teams often made a fl exible transition to a four player back-line or a fi ve player defense, depending on the needs of the game by dropping back one of their wide midfi eld players.
Various formations were to be observed in midfi eld. The majority of our teams opted for the classical structure of two central midfi elders in front of the two central defenders and two on the fl anks.
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 modifi cation to a diamond confi guration featuring a central holding midfi elder, two players tucked in from the fl anks 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 fi nely tuned rotating midfi eld 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 fi nals.
The 95 Girls semi ‐fi nal 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 3‐0win which produced some very refreshing soccer and allowed them to bow out with their headshigh.

OVERALL ANALYSIS
The Defensive Midfi elder
The emergence of a disciplined defensivemidfi eld 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 defi ned in terms of defensive attributes.
Strong‐running, tough‐tackling players withvision 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 eff ective breed of soccer player at this level.
Once possession has been won it is usually the creative players such as Maddy Schultz from the96 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 benefi ted from playing in a withdrawn position. It allows them to pull the strings, determining their team’s play with ingenuity and ideas.
OVERALL ANALYSIS | 12
Substitutions as a Tactical Measure
This year’s tournament provided numerous examples of the eff ect 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 toshine 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 Signifi cance of a 1‐0 Lead
In all the matches we played at the 2010Regional 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 withour 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 somememorable 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
Group Stages
Six (6) out of our eight (8) competing age groups qualifi ed to the semi‐fi nal stage of the 2010 ODP Regional Championships, a new record for our state. The qualifying teams were:
96 Boys
95 Girls
95 Boys
94 Girls
94 Boys
93 Girls
Our 96 Girls team narrowly missed out on the semi‐ fi nal on goal diff erence, 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‐fi nal stage were our 93 Boys who peaked just a little too late.
Semi‐fi nals
With six (6) teams fi ghting for a place in the 2010 championship games, the expectations and excitement felt within the Washingtoncamp was extremely motivating.
All the teams who did not have games could be found on the sidelines of each of ourthe semi‐fi nals chanting “Seattle Sounders” which created a culture never seen before at this tournament.
Our 96 Boys secured a place in the fi nal with a comprehensive 3‐1 win over Oregon, our 95 Girls unfortunately missed out during a very controversial PK shoot out.
The 95 Boys fl oated into the fi nal with a 3‐0 win over Arizona and the 94 Girls lost to Utah.
The 94 Boys cruised by Arizona and fi nally our 93 Girls lost in a close game against eventual winners Colorado.
Championship Games
Then there were three (3) - the fi rst game of the day was our 1995 Boys who once again would face Cal South in the fi nal. In 2009 our boys lost 2‐0 against this very team. History would not be repeated!
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 aff air, unfortunately we came out a little short losing the game 2‐0.
Then came another great game, the 96 Boys would fi nd 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 fi red up and ready to compete, eventually winning the game 3‐2.

Coaches Analysis:
Goal keeping: Need to stay connected with theteam: moving forward and supporting theplayers as the ball advances,communicating early, understanding howto mark players early – the defensive players positioning, looking for diff erent types of distribution, understanding when to counter on a quick punt and dealing with pass backs to switch the ball.
Outside Backs: Understanding theirposition in relation to the ball and the areaof the fi eld, attacking out of the back – didnot do this often – when and how –opening up to the fi eld early to beprepared for a potential pass, squeezingthe fi eld to stay connected to the mid-fi eldssooner.
Center Backs: Focusing on the game andnot the ball – getting players marked andpushing players on, understanding theirposition in relation to the ball and the areaof the fi eld, opening up to the fi eld earlyto be prepared for a potential pass, squeezing the fi eld to stay connected to the mid-fi elds sooner, communicating with the center midfi elders on marking.
Outside Midfi elders: They lacked understanding of tucking in on the far side, communicating with theoutside back to help mark and push on to the next player, tracking and for somebeing goal-side, combining with players,varying the service on the sides, supporting the outside backs.
Center Midfi elders: Positioning in the middle – they tended topush too far forward or to the side, organize the midfi elders ahead of thethem or push players on, tracking,positioning to be a ball distributor,changing the point of attack and helpdevelop a rhythm to the game.
Forwards: Mobility and the importance to maintainpossession of the ball, connecting the next pass (receiving the ball on the attackinghalf and the importance of making thenext pass), ideas of combination play witheach other or the midfi elders anddefensively consistent pressure on the ballor working together to stir the playtowards their teammates.

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 andtry to fi nd a winning goal. We fi nished 2games 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 usto be fl exible 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 fi nish our chances and that was the greatest weakness of our team.

Coaches Analysis:
The quality of our individual technicalperformance developed as the competition played out, and it was clearto see that our players would competefor the later stages in this competition.
As was the case in the fi nal we grew stronger and more composed during eachgame and the players ability to read thegame and select what was required fromeach situation was truly remarkable.
During the weekend we showed excellent defensive organization and structure. Our combination of technique, speed,strength and individuality was added toour high levels of eff ort and intensity, thisplaced us as the hardest team tobrake down in the competition.
We need to work on our ability to defend crosses and stay focused especiallyduring aerial duels; our heading in general needs much attention.
Our team demonstrates a good level of tactical & strategic understanding, thislead to easier role defi nition within ourdiff erent units & lines through out theteam.
During the competition we played a1 – 4- 3- 3 system of play with somemodifi cations to the needs of the gameand opposition.

Coaches Analysis:
Team Strengths -
Organization. We played a 1-4-4-2 most of the time and seemed to be prettywell organized, especially defensively.
We had some great individual eff orts and alsohad great team chemistry.The girls played hard as ateam and did a great job of being cohesive both on andoff the fi eld.
Team Weaknesses -
Speed of play. Ability to play quickly and eff ectively. Wetended to take longer thanneeded to make decisions or had technical breakdown’swhich didn’t allow us to playquickly. I would also like to see us improve in ourdecision making of when tokeep possession and whento go forward and take risks.
We tended to force thingswhen we didn’t need to.

ASSISTANT COACH: MICHAEL MACHONIE TEAM MANAGER: MICHAEL MORRIS
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 fi eld. 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 midfi elder 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 midfi eld. 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 fi nisher and dangerous running out of the withdrawn forward spot. Jordan Schweitzer’s tremendous calming presence in the midfi eld allowed the team to settle down during high pressured moments during the game. He also possesses a great range in the midfi eld 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 midfi eld and create a numerical superiority into the attack. Gallagher is tremendous 1v.1 defender with great timing and balance.

Coaches Analysis:
In preparation up to Arizona I started implementing 1-4-3-3. We really focused on our midfi eld shape and linkage from midfi eld to our shadow striker, central striker and wingers in the fi nal third. I wanted to really work on movement which allowed for good functional training specifi c to roles and areas of operation on the fi eld.
We really focused on simple play but eff ective play (1-2 touch) in all 1/3s of the fi eld. 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 fi rst game. (out for tournament) and we lost two other players during the tournament in the early stages.

Coaches Analysis:
The team was mentally prepared, but we did not perform in the fi rst game. The eff ort, 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 fi rst half. If our technical quality was missing, I was very clear on the basic expectations - eff ort, determination, attitude. We changed the formation and tactics at half time. We went to a 1- 4-4-2 and tried to play with2 strikers, and again a little more defensive cover in the wide positions. We were not holding the ball in the middle of the fi eld, 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.
We took a little time to discuss the game, both as a team, and with specifi c 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 midfi eld to impose a presence there, we added some speed, up-front.
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.

Coaches Analysis:
Game 1 v Oregon
Our plan was to pressure their backs andeither win the ball off them, or win it in themiddle of the park and fi nd our tucked inwide mids with the fi rst 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 precisepassing. 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 keyplayers in order to prevent them fromhaving an impact. We scored with highpressure. Nevada had very few chances as our back 4 was solid for their secondshutout in a row.
Game 3 v Cal North
We had already won the group before thisgame started. We wanted to conserve energy, rest our key players as much as possible but not lose our rhythm or style ofplay. We kept our same shape, but played
low pressure, meeting them at the center circle in their half. We also tried topossess as much as possible and get themto 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 andcompact to minimize the eff ect of theirNational Team forwards and deal with theirsize.
However, we were again unable tosuccessfully make adjustments and gave up corners too easily against a much biggerteam. We were left to play on the counterattack, which was diffi cult because our wide players were coming back too fardefensively.
Colorado scored both goals off corners!
