What is an RTC?

(Formerly YPDP & Training Centers)

Pathway to ODP

RTC stands for Regional Training Center.

The Regional Training Centers program is available for all players 8U-11U interested in building their skills and improving their game. RTC sessions are held in various locations around the state, the schedule and locations can be found below.

RTC is part of the Olympic Development Program (ODP), but is distinct in operation. The program is staffed with ODP coaches.

Training will be focused on developing each player's ability through age- and level-appropriate player curriculum aimed at enhancing the skills of each participant, whether you're the best player in your area, or an average player looking to become a better one. RTC Training is structured to be functional, focusing on areas of improvement rather than team concept training. Additionally, players will get to play with others from various clubs and age groups, learning from and being challenged by older and younger players.
