About the program
The Youth Development Academy is the first step in the competitive pathway. It is an 8 month season with built in breaks and periods of flexible attendance. Training is twice a week and lead by professional, USSF licensed coaches.
Teams of 12-14 are built and compete in the OYSA fall and spring Development League. Teams can also expect to participate in 1 or 2 summer jamborees. The summer period is also where players will be evaluated for team placement in August.
The beginning of May the club will assign all returning players to a roster based on their previous season. New Players will be evaluated throughout the spring/summer and assigned to a roster based on his/her ability. Depending on a players developmental needs he/she could be moved up or down at anytime during the year.
