The annual US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (US Youth Soccer ODP) Girls Thanksgiving Interregional is scheduled at the North Community Park and Coral Glades High School Sportsplex in Coral Springs, Fla. Teams arrive on November 22, for two days of training, with competition beginning on the 24th and running through Friday, November 28.

Continuing its tradition of elite play, competition and player development, youth from the nation's elite player identification and development program, US Youth Soccer ODP, will train and compete in front of national and leading collegiate coaches to maximize their exposure.

The US Youth Soccer ODP Girls Thanksgiving Interregional will represent teams in the 1992 – 1994 age groups including the U.S. Under-16 National Team.

US Youth Soccer ODP is viewed as the premier identification and development program for the national’s youth seeking the opportunity to compete at the national and collegiate levels of play.

“The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program is a vital part of the identification process for our youth national teams,” said former U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Greg Ryan. “Creating an environment for the most talented girls to play with and against the best players possible not only allows for their maximum growth as players, but also allows the national team coaches to see who really has the qualities to play at the highest level. The US Youth Soccer ODP gets a lot of credit for the success of our youth national teams at all age levels.”

Initially created in 1977 as the US Youth Soccer Select Team Program, US Youth Soccer ODP was formed to identify a pool of players in each age group from which a National Team could be selected for international competition. A girls program was added to US Youth Soccer in 1985.

US Youth Soccer ODP is the original Olympic Development Program and the only elite player development program that can claim members of Major League Soccer as well as a majority of current and past national and youth team members, as alumni. US Youth Soccer ODP begins at the state level and offers regional and national championships and participation in international tournaments. For thirty years US Youth Soccer ODP continues to lead the way for players seeking to participate at the highest levels of soccer.
