While continuing their work as leaders in the STX Olympic Development Program (ODP), DOC Kamille Cervantes and GK Director Nicki Swanson encouraged FIERCE players to check out the program for additional player development opportunities. The program serves to identify top players from across the state, support their development with additional training, and show opportunities for players interested in competing at the next level.
The selection process for ODP is proficiency based, with only the top players at ID events receiving an invitation to join for the season. Once selected, players are pool trained once a month in preparation for showcases, regional friendlies, an international trip, and sub-regional events.
After it's final ID Event in early August, ODP announced its selections for the 25-26 ODP season. FIERCE is ecstatic to report that numerous players spanning several age groups were invited!
Player | Team |
Bethany C | G15 Elite |
Campbell M | G14 Elite |
Amelia O | G14 Elite |
Kimber S | G14 Navy |
Nicole L | G11 |
Norah W | G11 Elite |
Nova F | G08 |
Julianna G | G08 |
Ava Z | G08 |
Coach Kamille expressed her excitement for the players invited to the program:
ODP is a great opportunity and experience for FIERCE players. They will get to play with and against players that are from different teams, and be exposed to new challenges outside of their club environment. This is also a great way to foster player growth within the year and strive to receive an invitation to the next round of ODP - Region Camp.
FIERCE is proud to see players demonstrate fearlessness in trying out for ODP, and hope that it empowers more players to do so in the future. We cannot wait to see the positive ripple effects for each of these players over the course of their season with FIERCE and ODP!
