The fundraiser will help her family cover travel expenses for this trip, which is a great opportunity to help advance her soccer career.
“The goal of the ODP program is to identify and select the best group of young soccer players ever assembled to represent South Texas at the upcoming US Youth Soccer Region III scheduled events. The ODP tryouts offer players the opportunity to showcase their talent in a unique environment that is designed to allow the top players show their talent with opportunity to be exposed to regional, national and college coaches.
If Reigle performs well in Alabama she will have the opportunity to play in Europe or Central America.
