Program Goals - From ASA Board Notes

  • Insure equitable player selection process
  • Offer enhanced training and competition for the top players
  • Broaden exposure of top players to college and regional coaches
  • Prepare players/teams to maximize their opportunity at Regional camp.
  • Prepare our elite players to qualify for Regional pool/team.

We need to overcome four obstacles: limited training sessions, travel to training, lack of resources for scouting players, lack of confidence.

To meet goals and overcome obstacles, ASA intends to implement the following guidelines:

  • The ODP program is designed to provide an elite player training opportunities. It is expected of these players that ODP activities will be their top soccer priority.
     
  • The annual ODP calendar will be announced by July 1st of each year and be a 12 month training and competition cycle.
     
  • Players will be scouted at Alabama tournaments (announced in advance) and coaches may submit player reviews to the ODP Director of Coaching.
     
  • Each district will conduct a tryout by mid November and a statewide tryout will be conducted by mid December for 91, 90, and 89s. Entry into program for these age-groups will be by district tryout or selected by ODP Coach to attend the statewide tryout.
     
  • A committee comprised of the ODP Coaching Director, college coaches, and designated ODP team coaches, will select pools and teams.
     
  • Club coaches on the ODP staff will not coach the same age/gender they coach in club soccer.
     
  • Players will be offered district training sessions in addition to traditional pool/team training. This will be conducted as player clinics and will follow a program developed by the State ODP Coaching Director. These will be at an additional cost, per session.
     
  • Teams and Pools will be offered as many competition opportunities as possible.
     
  • June mini-camp and Summer League play will be part of the annual program.
     
  • Additional training for individuals can be scheduled.
     
  • Only players having exhibited both a serious training commitment and notable competitive performance will be selected to attend Regional Camp, even if that means less than a full team goes.
