ODP NATIONAL PLAYER FUNDRAISER

MASON BOGGS – 2011 BOYS

Mason Boggs’ journey through the Idaho ODP program has been years in the making, beginning with his early selection into the Idaho state pool, where players are identified and brought together to train and compete at the state level. From there, his performance earned him invitations to West Region events, where top players from across the western United States are evaluated for advancement to regional teams and ultimately the national pool. After years of commitment, countless training sessions, and the support of his coaches and soccer community, Mason’s progression through this pathway culminated in the moment he had worked hard to achieve being selected to the National ODP Team. His selection reflects his perseverance, humility, and love for the game that have defined his soccer journey from the very beginning.

Mason has loved soccer for as long as he can remember, inspired from an early age by watching his older brother and sister compete and discovering his own passion for the game. He has continued to grow within the Boise Timbers ECNL program, valuing the opportunity to compete against strong teams throughout the Northwest and the region, while also enjoying a memorable freshman season at Timberline High School. His ODP journey has been especially meaningful, and he is grateful for the experiences at every stage of the process, from the Idaho state pool to the regional events and ultimately the national camp in Orlando, where he earned selection to the ODP National Team. Mason is driven by big goals and recently completed a week-long trial at Austin FC, fueling his aspiration to join an MLS academy, compete for a top college program, and pursue every opportunity to continue advancing in the sport he loves.

STELLA JONES – 2009 GIRLS

Being selected for the Olympic Development Program has been an exciting part of my soccer journey. Through ODP, I’ve had the chance to train and compete with some of the best players in my region and learn from and be evaluated by high-level coaches. The experience has challenged me to grow technically, tactically, and mentally, and it has pushed me to work harder every day. It has also helped me gain confidence and motivated me to keep working toward higher levels of the game.

Soccer has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember.  I’ve had the opportunity to play at a high competitive level with my club team, my high school team and continue to challenge myself through programs like ODP.  I love the challenge of competing, the teamwork, and constantly working to improve my game. Right now I’m focused on developing my skills and learning as much as I can from my coaches and experiences.  In the future I hope to keep playing at a high level and eventually play soccer in college.

ADRIAN LOWE – 2008 BOYS

I’ve been playing soccer for as long as I can remember, growing up in Boise. What started as just a hobby turned into a passion because of the competition, the joy it brings, and the connections it fosters, especially the brotherhood and bond you build with your teammates along the way. I play as a center midfielder, and I love it because I get to influence every part of the game, connecting passes, controlling the flow, and contributing both defensively and offensively. I enjoy the challenge of impacting the game in multiple ways and helping set the pace for my team.

I started my journey with Rush, where I built a solid foundation and gained confidence as a player. Recently, I moved to Timbers to push myself at a higher level and continue improving. It’s been a great experience that’s helped me grow both on and off the field.

Balancing soccer and academics has always been important to me. I’ve worked hard to maintain a 3.9 GPA while staying committed to training and competition.

Looking ahead, I plan to attend Spokane Falls, where I’m excited to continue my soccer journey and pursue my goals both academically and athletically.

Being selected for the national ODP team comes with its own set of challenges, including travel and expenses, so I’m currently raising funds to help cover the costs. Any support would truly mean a lot to me and help me keep chasing this incredible opportunity.
