About ODP
Identify. Develop. Next Level.
The Olympic Development Program exists “to identify and provide opportunities for high potential players, facilitate their development, expose them to the next level of their chosen pathway and motivate their pursuit of excellence.”
The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program was formed in 1977 to identify a pool of players in each age group from which a National Team will be selected for international competition; to provide high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at all levels; and, through the use of carefully selected and licensed coaches, develop a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve all levels of coaching.
In 1979, the program expanded, the organization became more efficient and multi-year plans were developed. State Associations were encouraged to develop programs which supported and worked in tandem with National and Regional programs. At the beginning of 1982 a formalized program for girls was created, with the addition of a full committee (one member from each region). In 2017, the Northern Nevada ODP Program was approved and introduced to serve Northern Nevada and its surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages can try out?
For the 2026-2027 cycle, boys and girls born 2009 through 2016 are eligible for ODP teams. ODP teams are created by birth year, January 1st to December 31st.
Do we have to attend both tryout dates?
No, a player can attend one or both sessions depending on their schedule. Attending both is strongly encouraged.
Can my player play high school soccer and ODP?
Yes. Nevada Youth Soccer provides a form for your high school if the school requires it. Email ODP@nevadayouthsoccer.org with “ODP High School form needed” in the subject line.
How are players selected?
At tryouts, Northern Nevada ODP coaches will evaluate players based on US Soccer's key qualities and position profiles.
Do we have to leave our club team?
Absolutely not. ODP runs alongside club soccer. Players stay registered and playing with their own club and are strongly encouraged to be registered and participating with a club soccer team.
What does it cost?
Tryout registration is $90 and includes both tryout sessions. Players selected and invited to join a team will pay an ODP Team Registration Fee through GotSport; that fee is determined by the number of teams Northern Nevada ODP creates for the Far West event. In addition to the Team Registration Fee, parents are responsible for a player’s travel and lodging for the Far West Regional event in Arizona.
