12 Bulls Players Selected for US Youth Soccer Hawaii ODP State Team
The Honolulu Bulls Soccer Club is proud to announce that 12 of our talented players have been selected for the US Youth Soccer Hawaii Olympic Development Program (ODP) state team. This prestigious program identifies and develops the top soccer players in each state, providing them with opportunities to compete at higher levels and showcase their skills on a national stage.
What is ODP?
The Olympic Development Program (ODP) is a nationwide initiative run by US Youth Soccer to identify and train elite players. Each state selects its best players through rigorous tryouts, forming state teams that compete against other states in regional and national tournaments. The program serves as a crucial pathway for young athletes aiming for collegiate, professional, or even national team opportunities.
