  2. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Pathway to the International Game since 1977

  3. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CYSA ODP Mission Statement: The Olympic Development Program (ODP) is dedicated to the development of the highest level of youth soccer. ODP should provide the greatest possible opportunity for the youth soccer players from the CYSA, whose physical talents and mental maturity are of the level to participate in State, Regional, National and International competitions. The process by which that is accomplished must be achieved in an atmosphere of integrity, fairness and impartiality. The physical, cognitive and attitudinal skills of the individual must be the only criteria for the inclusion of the program. The procedure to achieve these objectives must be approved by the CYSA Board of Directors and must not conflict with any US Youth Soccer or USSF policies.

  4. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM What is the Olympic Development Program: The Primary objective of the State Olympic Development Program (ODP) is to identify, evaluate and train highly talented youth soccer players. As part of the National effort, the CYSA ODP is dedicated to developing the highest level of youth soccer. The Olympic Development Program is a National process for identifying and developing the best youth soccer players. The process promotes players to the U.S. National teams, which represent the United States in International competition, such as the Youth World Cup and the Olympics.

  5. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THE LEVELS OF ODP: Identification at the District level Through open District Try-Outs Recommended by a league/club DOC Identification at the State Level State Try-outs are by Invitation ONLY Player attends State Try-Outs from the District level/DOC Recommendation Selection to the State pool Identification to Regional Level Player from State Pool attends Region IV ODP Camp for Evaluation Selection to Regional Pool Identification to Youth National Pool/College Recruitment Player is identified from Interregional event, State event or Club event Player invited to a Youth National Training Camp

  7. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Who is eligible? Any soccer player who meets the age requirements for the established age group is eligible to participate. Calendar year is the established age groupings for ODP. Players are in a designated age group by their birth year.

  8. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM How are players selected? District Level Open Try-Outs DOC Recommendation State Level Try-Outs in September, October, December Regional Level Region IV ODP Camp National Level Regional ODP Events (Camps, Tournaments, Showcases) Club Events Open Scouting/ Coach Recommendations

  9. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM I was selected, so am I on the team? District Level: At this level, you have been selected to attend State Try-Outs and try out for the State ODP Pool. State Level: Once a player has been selected you are a part of the age group pool for that ODP season. Players will be evaluated at trainings/camps, and a specific number of players will be selected to attend Regional Camp, where they will try-out for the Regional pool. Regional Level: At Regional Camp, players will be evaluated, where the top players will be selected to the age group pool for that ODP season. National Level: US Soccer staff look at players in many different environments. Players are selected to attend youth National training camps, where they establish a pool of players. Players are selected from this pool to attend National Competition.

  10. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM What is the time commitment? District Level: No competition or trainings at the District level, this is just part of the identification process. State Level: The State ODP program will hold trainings/camps where players will be selected to attend State Competition and Regional Camp try-outs. Regional Level: National and International competition. Training sessions are built into these schedules. Most events are 5-10 days in length. National Level: Training camps (up to 6 days), and Competition (5-10 days) This program is not meant to replace the club team but to enhance the players development and promote the player to the next level.Players with the strongest commitment will benefit most form this program.

  11. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Why should I participate in the Olympic Development Program? Participation will provide opportunities to play with and against the best players in the state, region or nation. Exposure to different coaches and different playing styles. Supplemental training opportunities to enhance your club training and development. Potential identification and selection to the National Pool. Potential identification and selection to a top college.

  12. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Am I good enough to participate? Talk to your coach or club Director of Coaching Can you maintain your level of play outside the comfort zone of your current club team? Can you execute technical skills at speed while under the pressure of an opponent? Do you make good decisions with and without the ball? Are you committed to self improvement and the drive to play at the next level?

  13. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Other factors to consider… It is extremely exclusive. At some point every player gets released from the process. Although it may be considered to be cost prohibitive for some players, financial aid and scholarships may be available. Time away from family, friends, school and club team.

  14. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ODP in CYSA The CYSA ODP includes the following ages: 13, 14, 15 and 16 year old Boys and Girls. Because ODP age groups are based on the calendar year the age groups will change each season based on the birth year of the players. (Ex: for 2011-2012 the 13 years old will be all born in 1999). All players must try-out for the new State ODP pools each season, even previous State, Regional and National players. Because of the large number of player in the CYSA membership, ODP try-outs begin in the spring/summer at the District level. Spring/Summer: Each District is challenged to find the best players in each age group through an open try-out process or a DOC Recommendation Process. Several Districts offer both so as not to miss any players. Once these players are identified, their names are submitted to the CYSA office by September 1st and invited to attend CYSA State Pool Try-outs. State Pool try-outs begin in September and conclude in December.

  15. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ODP in CYSA (con’t) Fall: State Try-Outs are by invitation only and are not a “Open try-out”. The State ODP will have (1) Sunday try-out for each gender in September, October and December. Players identified through the District process, will be invited beginning in September and will attend until notified of their status on the team. Returning State players will join the try-outs in October and will also attend until notified of their status on the team. The final pool announcementwill be at the December try-out. Every year the pool size is adjusted to meet the needs of the seasons activities. Once the State ODP Pool has been named, the players will be expected to participate in the training sessions (Mini-Camps or training dates). While every effort has been made when scheduling trainings and camps to avoid or minimize a players conflict with other soccer activities, sometimes there still could be some conflict. This is when player must often make some tough decisions, and sometimes ODP may not the right choice for them. This is why we ask that each player really think about their decision to commit to this program, before they begin the try-out process.

  16. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ODP in CYSA (con’t) Winter/Spring/Summer: During this time of year the State ODP coaches will prepare the players to attend Region IV ODP Camp, where they will try-out for the US Youth Soccer Region IV ODP Pools. These pools are made up of the best players in each age group in the 14 western soccer states. Fall/Winter/Spring~ Regional Pools Once a player is selected to the Region IV ODP Player Pool, they may be “Called-up” to attend an event with the Regional Team that may be a Regional, National or International event. Not all players will be called up during a seasonal year, it depends on the event. Not all pools participate in the same events, there are specific trips planned for specific age groups. Keep in mind, during the fall, even Regional players will attend state ODP try-outs. Hence, the levels of ODP do overlap during the calendar year. All year: Youth National Pool The YNT coaches scout players year round and have training camps throughout the year.

  17. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ODP in CYSA and costs: The costs in ODP are directly related to the events or activities the players are participating in. The ODP in CYSA is not a revenue generating program for the membership, in fact ODP is subsidized by the membership to help defray the total expense to CYSA players. While the cost to participate may seen high, please keep in mind state ODP often compete out of state and require airline tickets, ground transportation, meals and lodging. Additionally, while the CYSA ODP staff is volunteer the excellent program curriculum and organization is administrated by a paid Technical Director and experienced professional support staff. Every year we assess the costs related to the ODP activities and do our best to modify and change to help meet everyone needs. Additionally, CYSA does offer payment plans and scholarships to it’s members to help make participation affordable.

  18. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM U17’s and ODP Several years ago CYSA phased out the U17 State ODP Pool for a number of reasons. However, US Youth Soccer Region IV still provides a viable program for the U17’s and continues to select players for U19/20 events at the National level. Players in CYSA can still be identified in any event and recommended to the Region IV staff to be included as an invitational player and be invited into U17 Regional Camp. One of the places that players will be identified is CYSA State Cup and CCSL.

  21. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The Future of ODP: The Olympic Development Program is evolving all the time to meet the needs of players at every level. Every 4 years our National team will hopefully be competing in World Cup and often depending on that outcome, the US National Staff will re-evaluate the Coaching Curriculum (Style of Play, Principles of Play and Coaching Philosophy). For this reason, it is extremely important that the coaching staff within ODP stay educated and on the “cutting edge” of what the National Staff is looking for in a player.

  22. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM In Conclusion: The Olympic Development Program provides players the opportunity to test themselves against the best in the State, Region and Nation. The goal of the program is to push the player to the next level of challenge. Players must be adaptable and be able to perform at their peak in an ever changing environment.

  23. OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The best of the elite players will only rise to the top based on their own dedication and commitment. A quote form Anson Dorrance: “Whether you're chosen or not, you're going to win, because there are wonderful victories in both cases. If fact, I think the higher-level individual can triumph greater in not being selected, because the strength to take responsibility and recommit, or the strength to accept that our best was eclipsed by someone else's best, is a more powerful statement of character than just making the team. Through adversity, you can grow more as a person, and a part of the growth can be a decision on who you have decided to become as a player.” Anson Dorrance, University Of North Carolina Head Women's Soccer Coach And Former United States National Team Coach
