ODP Players and Parents,

A few quick reminders, ODP uniform ordering deadline is 11/10 in order to receive by the first training session. We will also be hosting an ODP Introductory Webinar on 11/27. All details can be found below.

If you have any questions regarding ODP registration, please contact Rico at odp@illinoisyouthsoccer.org. 

We will be participating in the Indiana ODP Friendlies on January 7 (Boys) and January 8 (Girls). Since this will conflict with our scheduled training, we will be switching training dates for the 2004-2012 age groups for the January 7-8 weekend. The training times will remain the same for each age group. This change will not affect Pre-ODP Session 1 scheduling.



New Schedule 

Saturday, January 7 – Girls Training

Sunday, January 8 – Boys Training

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we feel this is the best option to provide the most training and opportunities. The training schedule on the has been updated to reflect this change. If you have any questions, please contact Rico at odp@illinoisyouthsoccer.org

We will be hosting an Introduction ODP webinar on November 27, 2022. This is a MANDATORY webinar. If you are unavailable, we will be recording and distributing it to all those who are registered. This webinar will cover all the details you will need before you attend the first training session and also cover the ODP process for the winter.

Attending all training sessions is not a requirement, however the more sessions a player attends the more opportunity a coach has to work and evaluate a player. We have also published the Friendly and Off the Pitch Development Seminars.

Q: What does it mean when a group is split into Older and Younger?

A: The older/younger split applies to the 2009-2012 age groups. Players born between January-June are considered older. Players born between July-December are considered younger. One of the main reasons this is done is because the older players in an age group typically develop physically sooner. Each group will have its own State Team.
