MOUNTAIN REGION COLORADO SELECT
What is the Moutain Select Program?
Mountain Region CO Select Program (2008-2013 Birth Years) mirrors the Front Range CO Select Program but all sessions are held on the Western Slope to assist with travel for families. An expanded version of the Olympic Development Program, Colorado Select offers development and next-level identification opportunities to elite players and those who want to become elite.

2014 AND 2015 BIRTH YEARS --- YOUNG OLYMPIANS PROGRAM/YOP:
Young Olympians (2014, 2015 Birth Years) A pre-CO Select program that allows players the chance to participate in regionalized training sessions and be evaluated by the State Coaching Staff.
Young Olympians Program, also known as CO Select YOP is designed for the players that are a year (or two) younger than those trying out for the State ODP teams. The goal of the YOP is to facilitate a high-level training environment and offer the participants opportunities to train and compete with other aspiring players from around the state. The YOP provides to players an introduction to CO Select, the opportunity to become familiar with the training curriculum used by CO Select and showcase their abilities to our CO Select coaching staff. The program provides a pathway to participate in ODP, a national process for identifying and developing the best male and female youth soccer players with the aim of promoting them to the U.S. National Teams. Players participating in this program will be automatically placed on the radar of the State ODP staff for future identification and recommendation for future State ODP Try-Outs.
We will offer YOP sessions at all of the Mountain Select weekend opportunities (Aug 18th, Sep 29, Oct 27, Nov 17).
