The Cal-North 92 Boys ODP Team won the 92 Boys Age Group at the US Youth Soccer Region IV ODP Regional Championships on Monday, January 20, 2009. Held in Phoenix, they earned the right to represent Region IV at the US Youth Soccer National ODP Championships to be held in March 20-22, 2009 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX. With a combined roster of 92’s and 93’s, Cal North went undefeated scoring 10 goals while giving up only 3 with 3 shutouts. They progressed thru bracket play with victories over Nevada (3-1), Colorado (3-2) and Arizona (3-0). The scores do not reflect the level of competition each game presented. In fact, Cal-North had to come from behind against Colorado game scoring two goals in the last 7 minutes to win. With a win in the Semi’s against Utah (3-0), the stage was set for the perennial powers of Region IV to play each other: Cal-North vs. Cal-South. Much of the Region IV ODP Coaching Staff was on hand to watch including a large contingent of College Coaches. Both teams fought hard to gain superiority providing a number of potential game-breaking opportunities. The game was tied 0-0 until the final few minutes when Cal-North scored. The game ended 1-0 with Cal-North advancing to the US Youth Soccer National ODP Championships. Congratulations to the Coaches Godwin Odyie and Kelly Coffey and Team Manager Alberto Ruiz. And most important, a job well done to the players of Cal North ODP. US Youth Soccer ODP is known as the premier identification and development program for the nation's youth seeking the opportunity to compete at the national, professional and collegiate levels of play. US Youth Soccer ODP, designed to identify and develop a pool of players from which U.S. National Teams may be selected, is the original ODP program. US Youth Soccer ODP is the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer and the former Women's United Soccer Association, as well as a majority of current and past national and youth team members, as alumni.

What is ODP?
The Olympic Development Program is a national process for identifying and developing the best youth soccer players. The process promotes players to the U.S. National Teams, which represent the United States in international competition, such as the Youth World Cup and the Olympics.
The main ODP objective is to identify, evaluate and train highly talented male and female youth soccer players. As part of this national effort, the CYSA ODP is dedicated to developing the highest level of youth soccer. This objective must be achieved in an atmosphere of integrity, fairness and impartiality. The player's physical and cognitive skills and attitude must be the only criteria for the program. The procedure to achieve this objective must be approved by the CYSA Board of Directors and must not conflict with any US Youth Soccer or United States Soccer Federation (USSF) policies.
The secondary objectives are to:
Evaluate and select players in each ODP age group for a State pool of players from which State Team players are selected.
Advance the soccer skills of players in each ODP age group.
Provide competitions for State Teams in each ODP age group.
While individual leagues or districts may have additional objectives for their local programs, those objectives must not adversely affect the success of the ODP.
ODP participation does not mean that players do not participate on their club team. ODP participation, whether at the District, State, Regional or National level, is concurrent with club team participation. The advantages outweigh any conflicts this might pose
ABOUT ODP
:ODP, which is open for tryout to all players at the District level, provides the ultimate experience and training for the players selected. District III ODP players compete against players from other districts within CYSA-North, ultimately leading to the selection of state, regional and national ODP players. Each year several players from all over CYSA-North (including many District III players) are selected for national boys and girls teams. This program opens numerous opportunities for our youth players.
District III ODP tryouts start in May of each year, while the state tryouts are held in December of the same year. Regional camps are generally held in June or early July.

"I have great memories of my first experience with the Olympic Development Program! It was my first time competing for a position on a team without having my own father as the coach. It was nerve racking waiting for that letter to arrive in the mail announcing if I had made the ODP team or not!
I was 13 years old and I can still distinctly remember that I had a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant and inside my fortune cookie it read "you will receive good news in the mail soon."
The very next day I received the letter congratulating me on making the U14 ODP Team. I still have that fortune in my soccer box today! 3 district teams, 5 Regional, State and National Teams , and 2 junior World Cups later I finally reached my dream - playing in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona Spain.
Thanks ODP for getting me started." -- Troy Dayak
You are invited to try out for this season’s District III Olympic Development Program (ODP). This is the first step toward the State, Regional, and National Olympic Development Program. A pool of players will be selected in each age group and they will be given training sessions till September 1st. At this time 20 players from each age pool will be selected to go to the Play Days and represent District III. There will be competition called Play Days in September and October with the players from the other districts in CYSA-North. At the Play Days the players will be evaluated for invitations to the State Olympic Development Pool tryouts. If you are currently a member of the Regional or State Olympic Development Program, you are not eligible to try out for the district Olympic Development Program because you will receive an automatic invitation to the State tryout. All other players may try out at the District level to be eligible for an invitation to the State tryouts.
