The 2012-2013 USA Water Polo Olympic Develop Program (ODP) is gearing up for another year of high level training and player development. Sandy Nitta, USA Water Polo Hall of Fame Coach, will be returning as the West Region Director along with a strong group of coaches. If you have ever wanted to be a better player, gain water polo knowledge and the skills to play at the next level or just be a better player on your club I strongly encourage you to consider the ODP program.
The ODP program was developed under the guidance of the legendary Womens National Team Coach Guy Baker and his staff. The system is proven to work and develop better players, proof positive with the 2012 Gold Medal being won by Team USA.
To benefit the most from the coaching and development the 8th grade and under program is an important start, develop the skills early and the player will benefit the most.
The new ODP website address is: http://www.usawpodp.com/index.html. it is being updated with the new tryout dates and staff.
First tryouts for the PNW mainland will be November 17th, 2012. Both boys and girls will tryout on the same day, same location. Rogers High School Pool, Puyallup Wa. Or The Salvation Army Kroc Center, Salem Oregon.
