The Alabama Soccer Association
(ASA) will hold its Olympic Development Program Sub-Regional Evaluation at the
Jack Allen Recreation Complex March 28-29, 2015. Approximately 65 youth teams
are expected to travel to Decatur to participate in the annual event.
The US Youth Soccer Olympic
Development Program (ODP) has a primary mission to identify elite level players
and facilitate their selection to the U.S. National Team programs. The primary
benefit to the player is to be able to try out, train, and play against be best
players in their age group, and to further develop as soccer players. During
the two-day showcase, there will be educational lectures and opportunities for
players and their parents to talk with Region III ODP coaching staff.
According to the Decatur-Morgan
County Convention & Visitors Bureau, this will be the event’s ninth
appearance in Decatur and is expected to generate an economic impact of
approximately $300K for the city of Decatur and Morgan County. Participants in
previous ODP Showcases include boys’ and girls’ U00, U01, and U02 ODP programs
from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and Ohio.
