July 22, 2025-The Olympic Development Program (ODP) is a high-level supplementary program where players are guaranteed to be seen by national and regional coaches. Players in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) ODP are evaluated based on Technique, Tactical Ability, Fitness/Athleticism, and Attitude. If selected, they train on Monday nights, and most of their competition comes through tournaments in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, across the USA and occasionally overseas.
The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) boasts one of the strongest ODP programs in the country. Recent national championships and the development of stars like Sam Coffey, Crystal Dunn, Claire Hutton, Phallon Tullis-Joyce and Joe Scally are a testament to the program’s excellence.
Due to the large geographic area covered, the Eastern New York ODP is split into North and South regions.
Online registration fee: $45
On-site registration fee: $65
