The US YOUTH SOCCER Olympic Development Program, or ODP as it is more commonly called, is a national identification and development program for high-level players. The program identifies and develops youth players throughout the country to represent their state association, region and the United States in soccer competition.
ODP teams are formed at the state association and regional levels, made up of the best players in various age groups. At the state association level, pools of players are identified in each eligible age group, and brought together as a team to develop their skill through training and competition. From the state pools and subsequent teams, players are identified for regional and national pools and teams.
What are the Goals of ODP? ·To identify a pool of players in each age group from which a United States National Team will be selected for international competition. ·To provide high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at all levels. ·Through the use of carefully selected licensed coaches, develop a mechanism for the enhancement of ideas and curriculum to improve all levels of coaching.
Who is Eligible? Any soccer player is eligible for consideration in the ODP provided that he or she meets the age requirements for the established age group. A player may try out in the state association in which he or she is eligible to be registered. A player may not try out for the ODP in more than one state association. ODP Developmental programs are open to skilled players on a "no cut" basis. Developmental players (1998-1999 birth year) are offered trainings, not tryouts, and regional camp in De Kalb, IL in July is available to all developmental players until filled.
