Connecticut ODP
The Olympic Development Program is an identification system linked to the United States Soccer Federation and US Youth Soccer. The program offers its players a pathway that could lead to representing Regional and U.S. Youth National Teams. Originally established in 1977, ODP was the first program in the country designed to identify potential youth national team players. ODP players begin initially at the local sector before progressing to the state, regional and possibly national levels. By playing with like-talented athletes, ODP offers the opportunity for players to advance in their personal development and to be scouted by college coaches.

*Registration Note (Applies to full program registration, not required to register for tryouts)
If your player is not in the CJSA system at all or if you receive the following alert when attempting to register:
“Player Cannot register – seasonal application required”. This is basically saying that our CJSA registration system does not see the player registered for the 2023-2024 playing season. This is required for participation in RTC or ODP. You can register directly with CJSA (making the player a member of CJSA/$40) by following the link below. Thereafter the system will recognize and allow the player to be registered for RTC or ODP.
