The Olympic Development Program in Virginia

The Olympic Development Program is a US Youth Soccer Program to identify players of the hightest caliber which will lead to increased success for the US National Teams. (See US Youth Soccer ODP).   

Virginia ODP is divided into four districts – Central, Northern, Southeastern and Western.  Each district conducts open tryouts each summer for the 5 participating birth years of both genders for the next seasonal year.  For the upcoming seasonal year, the 2009-2010 seasonal year, tryouts will be conducted for the 97, 96, 95, 94, and 93 birth years.  The oldest age group this year, the 91 birth year, is still a part of the ODP, but will not participate at the district or state levels, there will be no tryouts.  The 1992 age group may participate by invitation only to Region I Camp in July 2010.
