NYSWYSA ODP Information
The goal of the Olympic Development Program (ODP) is to identify top players in the NYSW footprint, provide them with high level training, and to advance the most talented and passionate youth players through ODP state, regional, and national team selection process. The pinnacle is ascending to the ODP National Select Teams that range in age from U14 through U17.
The New York State West/US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program was created for three reasons:
- to provide high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at ALL levels;
- through the use of carefully selected and licensed coaches, to develop a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve all levels of coaching, and
- to identify a pool of players in each age group from which four ODP Regional Teams (East, South, Midwest and West) and eventually an ODP National Select Team will be selected for domestic and/or international competition

WHO CAN ATTEND THE NYW ACADEMY?
Expanded Age Groups - All players born in '09, '10, '11, '12, '13 and '14 are welcome
The Academy program, which is for both boys and girls, was originally established for NYW ODP players but in 2015, due to its popularity, participation was opened up to all age eligible players in NYW (I.E. players do not have to currently be in our NYW ODP program to participate). We encourage and welcome any new athletes who are serious players who wish to experience the high quality coaching associated with the Olympic Development Program.
WHEN AND WHERE IS THE ACADEMY HELD?
The Academy will be conveniently offered at five locations throughout the state in 2023. All training sessions will be held on Sunday afternoons: September 10, 17, October 8, 15, 22 and 29. Times for each location are still being finalized. If your location does not have a time listed yet, please check back as we are working to get these established.
Academy online registration for all sites will open on August 1st.
