Parsippany Soccer Star Invited To International Tour

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Dylan Mazzarella has been invited by US Club Soccer on the 2023 id2 National Selection International Tour to England, which will be held March 30 through April 11.

Mazzarella is a student at Central Middle School and will be attending Delbarton School in the fall.

Established in 2004, US Club Soccer’s id2 National Identification and Development 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, according to their website.

The 2023 id2 National Selection International Tour officially begins March 30 with a two-day domestic camp in New Jersey before traveling to London and Manchester for an immersive experience of training, competition, and culture.

The tour, which concludes on April 11, represents the final progression of the current id2 age group cycle, targeting players born in 2009.

Eighteen boys and 18 girls were selected from id2 National Training Camps held in Florida and California over the past two months. This is the first time US Club Soccer is taking the id2 National Selection girl’s team overseas; previous years, the girls participated in a domestic camp alongside the ECNL.

For the id2 National Selection boys team, the tradition of foreign competition continues, and this year’s roster joins an elite community of alumni, including Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, and Tim Weah.
