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.
Iowa ODP Details
Iowa ODP is organized by birth year groups and each August, tryouts are held by age group when players are evaluated. This player development program runs alongside a player’s club participation through the year and training is scheduled at multiple facilities across Iowa.
- Train, develop and perform with the best players in the state.
- High quality instruction from nationally licensed coaches.
- High quality competition against other states.
- Gain exposure to regional and national team coaches.
- Opportunity to represent one’s state, region, or country in competition.
- Exposure to college coaches at all levels.
During the tryout process players participate in a variety of technical and tactical training activities and then a small-sided or full game format. From these activities the coaching staff assesses each player and makes the final assessment regarding selection of the top 22-40 players in each age group. These selections make up the age group “training pool”.
