OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (ODP)

PLAYER POOL EVALUATIONS FOR STATE ODP 2010

·         Eligible Birth years for boys and girls:  1995, 1996, 1997, 1998

NEW FORMAT FOR 2010 – Please read all information very carefully

A new format for the CYSA Olympic Development Program (ODP) will start with the upcoming District VIII try outs in August. Each player will be evaluated on their performance during try outs on their individual skill level and their knowledge of the game of soccer. 

CYSA has initiated a new process for players’ coming into the State try outs for 2010.  Each District will evaluate, identify and select the best players from their own District to attend the State ODP try outs for selection to the State ODP Pools.  District teams will no longer be selected.  Individual players (not teams) from each District will be sent directly into the first round of  State try outs starting in September.

Any non-CYSA players that participated in the Olympic Development Program last year and had to registered with CYSA in order to attend the play days in Morgan Hill in September and October last year are still eligible to try out in August under the CYSA insurance. 

Any non-CYSA players that did not participate last year in the Olympic Development Program will need to fill out a CYSA insurance form before they can participate in the try outs.  This form will be available at the first try out.  A parent must be present to fill the form out and pay the required CYSA fee.  Please arrive early in order to take care of this very important issue.

All players, CYSA and non CYSA, need to follow the simple steps below to reserve your space at the

District try outs this year.   If you do not pre-register and show up on the first day of try outs to register you will be asked to wait in a separate line until all pre-registered players have been checked in first.  This will delay getting you on the field in a timely manner.  Our suggestion is that you pre-register. 

·         REQUIRED MEDICAL RELEASE FORM FOR TRY OUTS

ALL PLAYERS MUST FILL OUT A NEW MEDICAL RELEASE FORM THIS YEAR BEFORE THEY CAN TRY OUT (Both CYSA and non-CYSA registered players).  You can find this form on the District VIII website www.cysad8.org. At the top of the page click on “Forms and Resources” then click on ODP try out form.  Please type or print CLEARLY and fill in all required spaces.  If I cannot read the information and if the form is incomplete, I cannot register you !!
