Each season our Y league players are evaluated in each match by both our Staff and the Regional ODP Staff in order to select a Regional ODP team. In our first year, we are proud to say, eleven Forest Players were selected from four teams to attend the Regional pool ID Camp. Two of them moved on the Regional team.
