ODP Montana Olympic Development Program

The Olympic Development Program (ODP) is a state program offered by Montana Youth Soccer. Montana ODP falls under the ODP umbrella of US Youth Soccer at the national program level.

The purpose of Montana ODP is to identify the highest caliber players in the state. After tryouts, Montana ODP  further develops these players through monthly supplemental training outside their club activities and provides them opportunities to be seen at events by US Youth Soccer and college scouts.

US Youth Soccer ODP limits eligibility to 12U-17U players each season. Through continued development and hard work, Montana ODP players of these ages can advance from the state level to the regional level to the national level of US Youth Soccer ODP.

18U and 19U players are not eligible to compete in traditional US Youth Soccer ODP events. However, as part of the Montana ODP Senior Academy, which consists of 16U-19U players and teams, they will train for and attend college showcases throughout the western United States.
