regionii_odpBrandon Wolf, a versatile youth soccer player who lives in Rosemount, Minn., was named to the All-Star Team from the recently completed US Youth Soccer ODP Boys 1992 Winter Interregional. The event was held at Wilson Gillette Soccer Complex in Wilson, N.C. from November 27-29, 2009.

The 18-man roster for the ’92 All-Star Team was selected for their outstanding performance during the annual interregional event and Brandon was one of five players chosen from Region II, which includes Minnesota.

The annual event brings together the four US Youth Soccer ODP Boys Regional Teams for competition and player development. The event also creates an excellent opportunity for the nation’s top colleges to preview the future of their respective programs.

The teams played matches Friday, November 27 through Sunday, November 29.  The games were held in conjunction with the US Youth Soccer National League Boys games, also held at Wilson Gillette Soccer Complex, as well as the NCAA Men’s College Cup.

Wolf told IMS that he’s not a stranger to the Region II team. In fact this is Wolf’s third trip with the Region II team but the first time he has made the All-Star interregional team.

The Rosemount High School senior did not play soccer this past fall but instead was the kicker for his school’s football team. He was a varsity soccer player the three previous years. He is also a 4-year varsity basketball player as well as a 3-time letter winner in track and field. Wolf still holds a 3.5 grade average.

Wolf has been playing his club soccer the last several years for Valley United and will return there this summer to play with the U-18 team.

Augsburg College Men’s Varsity soccer coach Greg Holker has worked with Wolf for a number of years with the ODP program and says that the senior is a “very versatile player.”

“I like him at centerback or up front,” said Holker. “But he plays in the center of midfield for his Valley United team.”

Wolf says he looked at a number of colleges but has made a verbal commitment to Division I school, UW Milwaukee.
