Each district program will be under the direction of NYW ODP staff coaches.  The program will conclude with an outdoor event on Sunday, April 27, 2014 in Batavia, NY where all four district programs will assemble and participate in a round-robin “Play Day.”  This event will be run side by side with the older ODP age groups that will also be in Batavia at that time for their traditional ODP Development Weekend.
