Washington Youth Soccer’s Elite Player Development (EPD) Program is a collaboration with the Seattle Sounders FC where elite youth soccer players find additional training and competition.  Players compete regionally and nationally against other state associations and are seen by college and U.S. Soccer scouts.  There are over 120,000 youth soccer players in the state of Washington and being named to an EPD pool in Washington state is a very high honor; over 1,000 players attended recent open tryouts.  Shadow congratulates its 22 premier players announced to the 2011-2012 WA Elite Player Development Program:
