What is the Super Y-League ODP system?
The Super Y-League ODP system exists to identify players for U.S. National Team Programs, within their natural environment during competition on their club team during the Super Y-League season. During the regular season over a series of matches, players are evaluated for tactical, physical and psychological characteristics that will determine their ability to attend the ODP National Camp held in January and February following each season. Through the national scouting system, the clubs contain select individuals that serve as the scouts for the league. These individuals are comprised of coaches and technical directors of the clubs. The benefits of this system are:

• Players are selected within the natural environment on their club teams within league play, as opposed to an open try-out system. Many players do not participate in the open-tryout ODP system operated by state associations. Some players do not react or perform well in an open tryout process.

• Exposure to U.S. National Staff and Team Coaches.

• Exposure to professional and collegiate scouts.

• There is no cost to be scouted. The scouting system is built into league play and contains no ODP fees, other than those selected to the ODP National Camps in January and February.
