May 28, 2026-Youth soccer players dreaming of becoming the next Sam Coffey, Claire Hutton, Joe Scally and Phallon Tullis-Joyce will have their opportunity when Olympic Development Program (ODP) tryouts start this summer.
Those four current members of the US National Teams developed their skills with the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association ODP when they were kids. ODP is the highest level of play in every state association and because our geographic region is quite large, we feature both North and South ODP teams.
Tryouts start with the 2013, 2014 and 2015 age groups, both boys and girls, at seven venues across Eastern New York. The full tryout schedule is here.
For more info, please phone the Eastern New York office at 516-766-0849.
With over 100,000 youth soccer players––both boys and girls––and more than 25,000 volunteers, the non-profit Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) stretches from Montauk Point, Long Island to the Canadian border, east of Route 81. ENYYSA encourages the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. All levels of soccer are offered––from intramural, travel team and premier players as well as Children With Special Needs. No child who wants to play soccer is turned away. ENYYSA is a proud member of US Soccer and US Youth Soccer. For more information, please log on to http://www.enysoccer.com/
