The purpose of Iowa ODP is to identify, train, and develop the most advanced players in Iowa to their full potential. Once identified, these players are provided with the opportunity to compete with and against elite players within the region and across the country.
Iowa ODP is one step in Iowa Performance Pathway and the National Player Pathway. ODP is a birth-year organized program.
