High Performance Prep environment
• U13 OPDL offers more competitive and comprehensive training
(transition from “Learn to Training” to “Train to Train” phases of
LTAD).

parent) on and off the field.
• Development and expectation of the individual players increase as
they attempt to align with individual goals.
