With the area's club teams getting fit and ready for the spring campaign, there was some very encouraging news recently when Soccer America magazine chose Louisville club Javanon as one of the best 25 youth teams in the country to play for.
The boys' and girls' clubs were chosen based on success of their teams in national youth competitions over the last three years and national recognition for players from these clubs in 2007. Javanon, a club which features a number of players from southern Indiana, was voted No. 24 in the United States in the boys' category. Carmel United of Indiana, meanwhile, was voted No. 9 in the girls' category.
"Selecting America's best youth clubs has become very difficult because of the increasing quality we're seeing nationwide," said Paul Kennedy, managing editor of Soccer America Magazine. "As a testament to the depth at all levels, we have expanded our rankings from the best 20 to the best 25 boys' and girls' clubs."
For the record, Dallas Texans was voted best boys' team in the country, while Eclipse Select of Illinois was voted best girls' team.
