Jeffrey Depaz Donis Highlighted as one of Top Players at id2
Jeffrey Depaz Donis (01 TU Jrs), was invited to participate in the US Club Soccer's id2 camp, which is a National Identification and Development Program. The id2 program provides an opportunity for the country’s elite youth soccer players to be identified and developed, and scouted for inclusion in U.S. Soccer’s National Team programs.
Jeffrey Depaz Donis was touted by Top Drawer Soccer as one of the top players at the id2 Camp. Here is what they said:
Congratulations to the '99 (u14) Gold Boys for winning the prestigious Jefferson Cup tournament over the weekend of March 8-9, in Richmond, VA. The team scored 9 goals while only conceeding 2 over the 4 games. The Jefferson Cup is the 2nd rated tournament in the country, so job well done.
The club also had 4 other teams that participated in the event. The '03 (u10) Boys Celtic lost in the semi-finals, '95 (u18) Boys Gold went 2-1, while the '96 (u17) and '97 (u16) both went 3-0. The u16-u18 age groups are set up in in a showcase format for college recruiting, so they just play 3 games with no championship.
Congratulations to all of the teams that participated this past weekend as they represented Triangle United well.
Below is an excerpt from Keith Price, North Carolina Youth Soccer Association President, regarding conduct and behavior of players and adults in NCYSA Matches. Please read below and click 'continue' to read the entire letter. Thank you.
When I send out letters to our members, I like for them to be filled with good news, positive information, but that unfortunately will not be the case today.
For some time now, the conduct and behavior of players and adults in NCYSA matches has gotten increasingly worse causing me and others great concern. I attend matches. I see and hear what is being done and said by players. It is depressing, it is disappointing and it is UNACCEPATBLE! Click to read article

Top Drawer Soccer, one of the Country’s websites that follows youth soccer, as well as college and beyond, recently wrote an article regarding US Club Soccer’s National Premier League (NPL). Currently, Triangle United’s u13-u15 Boys and Girls Gold teams participate in this league.
"The first goal is to have leagues all over the country in every major market, with the top clubs in the area being involved in the NPL," Lavers said. "We recognize the Academy and ECNL are the highest level of club competition in the country. The NPL should be a level just below that."
The NPL welcomes teams from the U13 to the U18 levels, with a single winner in each age division from each regional league advancing to the NPL Champions Cup in the summer. It’s not unlike what the Academy does with its Finals Week format, just blown up to accommodate more age ranges and both sexes.
U17 ('95) Boys Gold Region 3 Champions
The u17 Boys Gold (Coach Billy Englishby) just captured the club’s 4thRegion 3 Championship Thursday, June 27th, in Edmond, Oklahoma. The boys were the only NC team to make it to the Regional Finals. The last team from NC to make it to Nationals were also from Triangle United and that team (91 TU Gold, coached by Elmar Bolowich) made it there 3 years in a row (2008, 2009, 2010).
This is a great accomplishment, since the boys had to play 6 games in 7 days to make this happen. The team will now travel to Overland Park, Kansas to partake in the US Youth National Championships. Winners from the other 3 Regions will travel to Overland Park, where one team will be crowned National Champions.
1 National Finalist, 3 Regional Championships, 3 State Cups
During the 2006-2009 seasons, the 91 Triangle United Gold Boys team has helped put Triangle United on the map by their outstanding play on the field and their love for the game. Having Elmar Bolowich (UNC-Chapel Hill Men’s Soccer Head Coach) as their club coach, not only did the club have a vital role model to learn from, so did the boys.
