THE ODP is a national, regional, state and district team identification and development program for high level players. In addition, it also serves as a recruiting hotbed for college coaches.

2008 White just completed Phase 3 at Bowling Green this past weekend and is moving on to Phase 4 in Creve Coeur Park Soccer Complex in Maryland Heights, MO this weekend with games against Minnesota on Friday, Iowa on Saturday and Indiana on Sunday.
