2008 State ODP Tryout Invitations—For the second year in a row, District II has had 86 boys and girls invited to State ODP Tryouts (Invite List) —in addition to those who received automatic invitations because they made one of last year's State ODP pools. This is a very large number of invitees, and is a tribute not only to the hard work of the players, but also to the efforts of the many volunteer coaches who worked with District II ODP teams in the 1992 – 1995 age groups. Thanks again to all our coaches and evaluators, and congratulations to the players. Good luck at the tryouts!
Cal-North State ODP
Congratulations to the many District II players who made Cal-North State ODP pools for 2008. Lists of 2008 State ODP players are posted on the CYSA-N web site. Again, thanks to all of our highly qualified and dedicated ODP coaches for their hard work!
District II Olympic Development Program (ODP)
ODP, which is open for tryout to all players, provides the ultimate experience and training for the players selected. District II's ODP players compete against players from other districts within CYSA, ultimately leading to the selection of state and regional ODP participants, and national team invitees. Each year several players from all over CYSA (including many District II players) are selected for national boys and girls teams. District II ODP tryouts are held in the spring of each year, while the state tryouts are held in December for the following year's State ODP pools. Regional ODP camps are generally held in late June or July. This program opens numerous opportunities for our youth players.

Some ODP FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Is ODP a big commitment? A: Yes, ODP is a big commitment if you are one of the fortunate 20 players chosen. You are expected to participate in 1 – 3 practice sessions or games per week, which can begin right after tryouts and continue through the summer. There are also extra practices and/or scrimmages to prepare for ODP Play Dates in September and October. Q: How long is the District II ODP Season? A: The ODP District season runs from mid-May until mid-October, at which time the selections for invitation to the State ODP pool are made. Q: When are ODP practice days, and where are the practices held? A: Each coach selects his or her own practice days and fields. Fields are at a premium in District II, but coaches try to secure a field which is centrally located whenever possible. Q: Will participating in ODP conflict with my club team? A: ODP should not conflict with your club/league team. Q: Will I receive confirmation that my child is registered for ODP? A: No. Just assume that he or she is. Q: Should I enclose a copy of my child's birth certificate? A: Not at this time. It is only necessary if your child is selected for the District II Olympic Development Program.
