MVSC'S U15 GRANT HOLLKAMP WILL REPRESENT THE OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM'S MIDWEST REGION II '97 TEAM IN COSTA RICA NEXT FEBRUARY
MVSC's Grant Hollkamp was selected to represent the Olympic Development Program's Midwest Region II '97 team in Costa Rica next February.
“I worked hard while in California to get selected for the Costa Rica trip, and I feel very lucky to have made the team because there are a lot of very good players in the Midwest,” he said. “My goal is still to make the national team for my age group, but I know it will take a lot of time and hard work to make that happen.”
The Costa Rica tournament takes place from Feb. 4-11 and comprises the United States' four regional teams, as well four teams from the host nation. They will also attend a professional game and get to experience international play.
This is the second consecutive year that Hollkamp, currently playing his club soccer with Mockingbird, has been named on the ODP Region II team.
The Louisville Collegiate eighth grader made the 18-player squad following his performance at the ODP camp in DeKalb, Ill. His age group comprised 400 players from 14 states.
