This is a fantastic milestone for Indiana ODP and a powerful moment for young female athletes! The all-female staff and officiating crew at the Indiana ODP Friendlies on January 27, 2025, serve as an inspiring testament to the strength and leadership of women in soccer.
This initiative aligns perfectly with the Indiana ODP Women In Coaching program, a cause that Todd Sheely, Director of ODP, is deeply passionate about. By elevating the role of female coaches and officials, Indiana Soccer is not just supporting the present generation of female leaders but also shaping the future of the sport. Representation matters, and moments like these reinforce the importance of visibility, mentorship, and opportunity for young girls in soccer.
