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.
