Goals:

• Develop
  • Coaching that recognizes each player as an individual, develops each player’s ability from where they are to something better, and facilitates personal growth.
• Identify
  • To identify a pool of players in each age group to be named to the State Team (for U13-U19) as well as the identification of individual players to be selected to participate in the Midwest Regional ID Camp (for U12-U16).
  • To provide an opportunity for players to play in front of college coaches, USYS Region Staff, USYS National Staff, NWSL Scouts, MLS Scouts,  and US Soccer Scouts.

Philosophy:

• The Olympic Development Program (ODP) is supplemental to what the players get in their other soccer environments (club, high school, etc…).  Collaboration by all will allow for players to maximize their talents.  Therefore, we believe that we must foster a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect between clubs, high schools, and MYSA ODP.
• We believe that playing with those of equal or greater ability is a tremendous teaching tool; one that will allow for maximum growth and development.
