ODP Player Identification Events

Player Identification Events for the South Texas Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) take place each year in August at various locations across the state.

These events are designed for motivated and talented players who are looking to represent South Texas, continue developing their game, and gain exposure to scouts from different programs. Players should be prepared to challenge themselves and perform outside of their comfort zone in a high-level learning environment.

If selected, players must be registered with South Texas Youth Soccer in order to remain covered under STX insurance for all ODP activities. Players who are not currently registered with STX will need to complete registration through the association following the Player ID events and prior to participating in ODP training sessions. A $25.00 registration fee will apply for players outside of the STX system and will be added to the registration cost upon acceptance into the ODP Program.

For assistance with registration, please contact the Player Development Manager, ryank@stxsoccer.org.
