ODP

Home > Education

The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) provides high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at all levels and develops a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve all levels of coaching. Highly-skilled players identified through the ODP program may earn opportunities to compete at Regional or National levels.

The US Youth Soccer philosophy states that ODP identifies players of the highest caliber on a continuing and consistent basis, which will lead to increased success for the U.S. National Teams in the international arena.

Programs that are included in the Indiana ODP format are District Training, PDP, State Pool Training, and Regional Camp. Indiana follows the guidelines that are given by Region II and US Youth Soccer. Each group of participants are divided into age groups by their birth year and are led by ODP State Staff coaches selected by Indiana Soccer's Director of Education, John Carter. 

For more information about this program, please contact Indiana Soccer Education Assistant Joy Carter.
