11U Pre-ODP Program

*REGISTRATION  OPENS NOV. 1ST*

2024/25 11U Pre-ODP Program

The NYW Olympic Development Program will conduct its 2024/25 training program for players in the 11U age group (players born in 2014 and 2015) beginning in December 2024.   The program is for both boys and girls and will be conducted in four NYW districts; Buffalo, Cortland, Rochester and Syracuse. 

The 11U Pre-ODP cycle will include five training dates, each of which will consist of a 75 minute indoor training session and a 30 minute lecture.  Training sessions will focus primarily on improving each player’s technical ability and tactical awareness, via small sided games and activities.  Lectures will cover topics such as proper training habits, age appropriate tactics, team building and group dynamics/problem solving/socialization activities.

Each district program will be under the direction of NYW ODP staff coaches.  The program will conclude with an outdoor event on Sunday, May 4, 2025 in Webster, NY* where all four district programs will assemble and participate in a round-robin “Play Day”.  

*Play Day site location: Lakefront Basket Rd Fields, 695 Basket Rd. Webster, NY

Program Rationale:

The goal of the 11U Pre-ODP program is to provide player development opportunities for youngsters in this age group.  By keeping larger player pools, more players can partake in an ODP experience where they will receive high level, age appropriate training and also get exposure to some of the best coaches in NYW.  Utilizing a model that places 11U programs in selected districts will insure convenient training locations, familiar training environments for youngsters and minimal travel for everyone.  There will be no tryouts and all age appropriate players will be accepted into the program. Having said that, the program is geared toward serious and committed players who wish to experience the high quality coaching associated with the Olympic Development Program.

All Sites: Rosters are printed at 4pm on the Thursday prior to the start of each respective program.  Online registration will remain open right up until the start of the first session at each site. Players who register after the above posted deadlines must bring a copy of their tryout registration confirmation to show at check-in (IE. All players must register online). 

To Register On-line: Please Click Here Registration will be open Nov. 1, 2024.

Training Kits:  The required "New York State West ODP Training Kit" can be ordered online.  Approximate cost of the kit is $65 (includes jersey, short, and socks).  Kits should be ordered in a timely fashion to ensure delivery prior to your first training session. Kits ordered closer to the start of the program may inevitably be delivered after the first training session. PLEASE NOTE: We are moving to the new version of the same kit that we have had for the last four years (IE. same color scheme, same exact shorts and socks, but we will move to the newest edition of the same Nike jersey).  The end of the four year cycle for our current jersey has come to a close and Nike has created a new edition of the same jersey.  We recommend purchasing this new jersey as it is noticeably different than the old one. Moving forward and consistent with our past practices, we plan to stay with this jersey for its production shelf life so should families have the desire to utilize the jersey for more than one season, they will have that option.

Register early to ensure placement. 

NYSWYSA reserves the right to close registration when capacity at any site is reached.
