Registration Open for Tryouts for 1994, 1995 & 1996 ODP and 1997 PDP  The 2008-2009 Olympic Development Program (ODP) and Player Development Program (PDP) on-line registration for the August try-outs is now open.  The long term goal of these programs is to identify a pool of players in each age group from which a National Team will be selected for international competition, to provide high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at all levels, and through the use of carefully selected and licensed coaches, to develop a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve the playing levels.  Over the last two years, a number of new events and training sessions have been added to strengthen the program statewide and regionally, and we hope that 2008-2009 will be our best year to date.  To register, please click here  To learn more, please click here.
