YPDP TRYOUTS – U12, U13, U14
ODP TRYOUTS – U15, U16, U17
Two sessions are offered for evaluation and identification. Player attendance at both sessions is not mandatory; however, if a participant attends only one session, he or she will be evaluated on the one session.
The (YPDP) Young Player Development Program is the second tier of the tryout process for the younger age groups. An initial pool of players will be selected from the tryouts and invited into the YPDP Program for an additional seven (7) weeks of training and evaluation. This gives the younger players an opportunity to gain an understanding of the philosophy and objectives of ODP, whilst also allowing the players to be given a far greater opportunity to showcase their talents with a view to being accepted into the ODP Program. Players that do not participate in the YPDP Program will not be selected for ODP.
Players should understand that prior inclusion in the ODP Program does not mean selection for the next age group is automatic. Physical, technical-tactical and psychological maturation occurs at different rates. Players need to be evaluated on at least a yearly basis regarding their development in relation to those in their respective age groups.
The Olympic Development Program’s aim is to identify and advance the most talented and passionate youth players through state, regional, and national team selection and competitions. The pinnacle is the U.S. National Teams from 14 year olds and up that represent all of us on the international stage.
Registration for the ODP tryouts is $30 if your registration is completed on-line and prior to the tryout dates. Registration will be accepted the day of tryouts at the field but the cost will be $40. (All registration fees are non-refundable).
