Join the NJ Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program
Soccer News: The NJ Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) will begin programming for its Young Olympians program (birth year 2004) and Club NJYS (birth year 2005) on Saturday, November 21st. Sessions are hosted regionally (south, shore, central and north) to facilitate participation throughout the state.
Club NJYS, designed specifically for boys and girls born in 2005, is an introductory stage for players who aspire to play at a high level. Club NJYS provides a path to participate in the Young Olympians Program and ODP. Players’ abilities will be assessed and the sessions will be segmented so that players are training with others of like ability.
The Young Olympians Program, designed specifically for players born in 2004, is the next step for players preparing for the NJ Youth Soccer ODP. Players will be selected for the multi-session program after two initial tryout sessions. The Young Olympians program will focus on improving the player’s technical ability and tactical awareness while exposing players and parents to a US Youth Soccer and NJYS ODP environment. Since partnering with the Red Bulls in 2014, this program has also identified players for the Red Bulls’ Academy.
