Olympic Development Program
ODP
TFA fully endorses Ohio North’s Olympic Development Program (ODP). We feel the chance to play with different players and learn from other coaches is very beneficial.
Many of our Academy staff has coached ODP at various levels, including head year coach positions. Greg Hennelly and Paul Holdgate are currently on Region II staff, evaluating State players for Regional squads and National pools. This allows are Academy coaches to fully see what it takes to be a future US National player.

Many parents often ask what it takes for their child to become an Olympic Development Program (ODP), or State Team player? Is it the best 18 players who are selected, regardless of position, or is it the best team of players? What qualities separate those selected from those who are not? This article http://www.oysan.org/Assets/odp+sept.pdf will help answer some of these questions.
