Thank you to everyone who joined our recent information meeting regarding the upcoming 2026–2027 Missouri ODP cycle. If you were unable to attend, you can view the recording below:
Key Updates Ahead of 26/27
We are implementing several important updates to better align with the Midwest region and enhance the overall player experience:
- Tryouts move to August 2026
– Girls (U10–U19)
– Boys (U10–U14)- High School Boys (U15–U19) Tryouts will remain in November 2026
This change allows us to:
- Extend the training and development period
- Provide more opportunities throughout the year
- Align with the Midwest ODP calendar
Players selected from August tryouts can expect fall training sessions and potential events, while the High School boys schedule remains unchanged.
Registration Platform Update
Beginning with the 2026–2027 cycle, Missouri ODP will transition to PlayMetrics.
- Existing users → use your current PlayMetrics email
- New users → create an account during registration
Important:
We will continue using Crossbar for all remaining 2025–2026 events, so active players, please do not delete your account yet.
The full transition happens in August 2026.
