ODP Tryouts

Registration for the 2024 ODP open tryout cycle is now open! You can see the full schedule lower on this page, or during the 'feature' selection step of the registration check out process. 

All tryout blocks will remain open until they are completely full.

2024 OPEN TRYOUT Registration

If the open tryouts for your age group are currently full, the steps to tryout are slightly different moving forward. 

If you would like your player to receive a supplemental tryout, you will need to have them evaluated by a qualified technical person (e.g. your club’s Technical Director, Director of Coaching, or a current/former ODP staff member) who will complete the following questions before sending to the ODP Technical Director directly via email (Gandalf@msysa.org).

• Please list the players strengths (technical, tactical, physical and psychological):
• Please list the players weaknesses (technical, tactical, physical and psychological):
• In your opinion, is this player qualified to represent the MD State ODP as a member of their age group pool?
• Please provide a brief summary to support your previous answer:
• Please include the players full name and email contact. 

Depending on the answers, we may invite your player to participate in a supplemental tryout at the next possible date after they complete the online tryout registration. Please note if the report is completed by someone who does not meet the qualifications listed above your request will be denied. Additionally, as our age group pools are not limited to a specific number of players; any qualified player who meets the criteria above will receive a fair chance at being selected to the pool.

**Please note these schedules will change without notice - it is your responsibility to check for the most up-to-date information before attending a scheduled session.

2024 Open Tryout schedule

We are only forming player pools, NOT teams at this time. All players selected for their pool will participate in all trainings and friendly events, only invited players will attend the Regional Tournament and Regional ID Camp

*Please note that 2014 birth year players who are 'primary' rostered with a 2013 travel team may also apply to tryout. To apply please send an email with your players full name, DOB, and club team to the ODP Technical Director.

TRYOUT PROCEDURES​

• Check in:
  • Please allow adequate time for check-in ahead of your tryout – check-in will be available 60 minutes prior to open tryouts
  • All parents/guardians (and other siblings/spectators) must remain with/in their vehicles throughout the tryout
    • No parents/guardians may accompany players to the check-in process
    • In the event of an injury the Technical Director will utilize the emergency contact information provided during registration to contact the parent/guardian and provide them with directions on where to go to connect with their player
  • After checking in at the table and receiving their number, players will select their t-shirt size at the shirt station before  going to the field
• Tryouts:
  • Players will bring their water and bag to the field no more than 10 minutes prior to their scheduled start time
  • Players should bring their own ball – this should be properly inflated
  • While pinnies may be used – all players should bring a white shirt in the event of color conflicts during tryouts (alternating red/gold shirts will be given out at check-in)
  • Players should bring their issued shirt and tryout number to ALL tryouts (in addition to their own white shirt)
  • All players must leave their field within 5 minutes of the end of their scheduled session

We will post lists of players invited to callback tryouts below within 48 hours of the last open tryout for each age group. There will NOT be any email notification of callback lists.

While missing a call-back tryout date does not eliminate a player from consideration, increased visibility and tryout data does enhance the staff's ability to provide a more accurate assessment of each player. Please notify us via email if you will not be able to attend your scheduled callback tryout.
