ODP101 Information
MSYSA ODP 101Training Program-
Purpose
The ODP 101 Training Program is for players aged 10 and 11 registered within MSYSA. Birth date range is January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2001.
This Program is designed to provide additional technical training to those players seeking new challenges and help identify the level of u10 and u11 Michigan Players. The identification process will help our ODP Staff in its efforts to design and implement appropriate demands and objectives.
The curriculum will be designed specifically for youth players; therefore, your sons and daughters will be assured a proper, age specific learning environment.
Our philosophy is to develop skills and techniques to play “The Beautiful Game of Soccer.” The expression of the player and his/her ability is vital. We want to open the door of creativity for every player with a soccer ball.
