ODP Tryouts August 3rd and 10th
Registration Available for 1999-2003 Age Groups - SIGN UP NOW
Kentucky Youth Soccer's 2013 - 2014 Olympic Development Program begins in August. We are excited for the upcoming year and to continue developing Kentucky's top youth players.
One of the main purposes of the Olympic Development Program is getting the best players training and competing together regularly. It is the ODP Staff’s priority to help every player that we work with to reach their highest potential. Over the last half dozen years, the number of regional pool and team players has expanded from a handful of players to a regular slate of players that represent both the boys and girls.
For the 1998 age group – Elite players will be invited to tryouts who meet a criteria established by Adrian Parrish, Director of Coach and Player Development. If you wish to be considered, please have your club coach or High School Coach submit your name and contact information to Adrian Parrish.
For the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 age groups - online registration is closed, but On-site registration is available. On-site registration will be available for $80. Below are the tryout dates, times and locations (Please note that bolded locations have been updated as of July 19, 2013):
