Eagerly seeking the top youth talent in the country, collegiate coaches will observe the players at the US Youth Soccer ODP Championships. The participants represent the future of American soccer at the collegiate and international levels.

The players must try out to qualify for the program’s high-level training through a series of trials with licensed coaches at their local, State Association and then Regional levels. Those selected are exposed to some of the nation’s best coaches, trainers and facilities.

US Youth Soccer ODP is the original Olympic development program and the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer and Women’s Professional Soccer as well as a majority of current and past national and youth team members, as alumni. And, with programs in all 55 State Associations as well as regional and national championships and participation in international tournaments, US Youth Soccer ODP continues to lead the way.
