To create Dakota ODP experiences at the local level. For Dakota ODP staff to streamline the identification and scouting of players.

What is a training center?

An opportunity for any player to train and play with players in their birth year and gender that have been either recommended by their club or are interested in the program.

Who can participate?

Through a process with Dakota ODP Staff. Clubs will have the opportunity to recommend players to attend a Training Center. However, each training center is also open to any player to experience.

Players that will be in their high school season CANNOT participate in ODP/Training Center/Training Camp until the conclusion of their high school season. Therefore the window of August 1st - October 17th in South Dakota & Boys HS in North Dakota...HS players cannot participate in ODP. We understand this means that players in HS will miss out on some of the training center opportunities in the Fall. however, HS age players can attend the Training Camp(s), if they have either been recommended by their club or participated in ODP in past seasons. HS age players not recommended by their club need to reach out directly to Dale Weiler to inquire. 

What birth years can participate?

Boys and Girls born in 2007, 2008 2009. 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013

How much do they cost?

$100/training center - 2 training sessions

Who coaches the players at a Training Center?

A combination of local staff and Dakota ODP Staff

Can a player attend more than one training center in multiple locations?

Yes, each training center costs $100 to attend.

Will my son or daughter receive an evaluation from the training center session and the Dakota ODP Training Camp?

Yes. - within 2 weeks

Will there be future Training Center opportunities in my community. There's only one close to where I live.

Yes, our long term goal with this structure is to have continuous ODP opportunities throughout the year with more Training Centers added to the calendar.

For those players not selected to the Dakota ODP Training Camp, they will still have the opportunity to attend a Training Center to improve and be identified for future ODP events/programming.

What is a Futures Camp - A futures camp is for younger players that are not eligible yet to participate in the full ODP offering at the national level. Therefore, we are offering a camp experience for 2014 and 2015 boys and girls looking to gain an ODP experience before they would enter the program. Players will receive a 2 hour camp experience and players can participate in as many Futures Camps as they would like.

What if I can't make any of the training centers?
