ODP Tryouts 2023-2024 Registration Information
What is tryout process at the State Level?
All prospective players must register to be scouted by the state’s Scouting Network of coaches from the State and Region ODP staff members.
Scouting of players has begun to take place during the Spring season and will continue throughout the calendar year. All players in Georgia are invited to participate in this process; players identified during this stage will be invited to attend the respective age group training session(s) for the next phase of the evaluation process. There may also be multiple evaluation opportunities to be evaluated at club training/matches as well as ensuring that a proper evaluation takes place for every registered player.
Typically, between 40 to 60 players are selected to represent the Georgia ODP pool team at each age group but there is not a fixed number and is dependent on quality.
What is the Tryout Fee?
For the 2023/2024 ODP cycle year, the fee is $45 and includes a tryout/training shirt.
Eligible Age Groups
Players born in 2007 through 2013 (Players born in the specific calendar year January 1 to December 31) make up the ODP age groups’ pools. The 2013 age group will be Pre-ODP group and part of the ODP family of players (this year, we will be scouting and evaluating 2014 players will be considered for joining the 2013 group).
