The Southeast Regional Identification Center (RIC) is designed to provide advanced training to players in the Southeastern areas of Georgia including Savannah, Brunswick and the coastal areas.
The goals of the program are:
-
To serve as a process to identify players from around the State of Georgia into the State Olympic Development Program (ODP).
-
To give opportunity to players who are looking for additional training to supplement their club activities.
-
To help top players of our member clubs reach their potential by providing a challenging program in close proximity that requires a short commute.
-
To teach the RIC players the ODP playing style of possession soccer and prepare them for ODP.
