East Bay United – Bay Oaks’ player Amado Lozano was among 52 players in their age group (born in 1999 or 2000) to be invited for the recent boys id2 Program Training Camp in Casa Grande, Arizona. The camp was held at Grande Sports World and featured the top players from across the country for four days of high-level training and off-field sessions from Dec. 6-9.  Here is the link of all the attendees, US ID2 List of Attendees. The invitation-only event gave both players the opportunity to compete in front of U.S. Soccer National Team staff, as well as some of the nation's best coaches. The age groups for the camp were selected to align with the scouting priorities for the U.S. Soccer U-14 National Teams.

In addition to the training and evaluation, the experience also included guest speakers and lectures/classroom sessions. Check out the link ID2 video to view the video highlights from the camp. For the fourth straight year, a team of the best 18 boys from the spring and fall id2 Program Training Camps will be selected to take part in the National Selection International Tour, where they will have the opportunity to train, attend professional matches and compete against youth teams from well-known professional clubs.
