Next February, these players will have the opportunity to be selected to the ODP National Team. Congratulations to all on their amazing achievements. I want to also congratulate new ODP Director Wayne Fortino on moving the program forward.”
ODP is a high-level supplementary program where players are guaranteed to be seen by national and regional coaches. Eastern New York boasts one of the strongest ODP programs in the country as 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.
