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.
