CYSA
District VII Olympic Development Program Identification Process
The Olympic Development Program is a national process
for identifying and developing highly talented male and female youth
soccer players.
Starting in the 2011/2012 seasonal years, District 7
will be implementing a new process for player identification selection
to the State ODP Identification selection. This selection process will
send our very best players to the State ODP ID in September and
October, ending with the ODP Championship Training in December. This
process will rely on the use of a comprehensive player scouting system
to identify the top players in District 7. Additional information
regarding this scouting system will be announced in the near future.
For the current 2010/2011 season, the following system
for identifying players will be implemented. Club Technical Directors,
Directors of Coaching, and Team Coaches can recommend players through
an on-line recommendation form. This same recommendation form can be
picked up and filled out at our District 7 office, which is located at
4285 N First Ave. Fresno 93612.
These recommended players will then be invited to the
District 7 ODP ID Camp for further evaluation from District ODP Staff.
From this pool players will then be invited to attend the State ODP ID
in September and October. There will be no cost to the player to
attend the District 7 ODP ID camp.
District 7 ODP ID Camp dates: TBA
NOTE: District 7 cannot accept player recommendations
from personal trainers or parents.

CYSA has Inducted
Gladys Olsen into the 2009 CYSA Hall of Fame
Gladys
became involved with youth soccer when her youngest son, Roland,
played for Roeding Elementary School in Fresno. her involvement soon
escalated to her election as the Fresno Area Representative for the
Fresno Junior Soccer League Board. She also served on many committees
during that time. In 1982, the Fresno Junior Soccer League was split
into 6 leagues and Gladys became involved in the newly formed Fresno
Metro Youth Soccer League. There she as served as
President, Tournament Director, P&A Chair, and Registrar - a position
that she still holds today. Gladys was also instrumental in forming
the Fresno Monarch Soccer Club, which is their competitive and upper
age program. As President of the Fresno Metro YSL, Gladys became
involved with the District VII Board of Directors. There she has
served as Assistant Commissioner, Secretary, Treasurer, Chairman of
P&A Committee, and chairman of the District Playing League.
Not one to say "no," she has served as the CYSA State
level as Secretary, First Vice Chairman, and has participated in many
committees. She has also served on the Region IV Protest & Appeals
Committee. Gladys even had a short lived career as a player (adult).
The League was called Kick and Chase, and her career came to a sudden
end when she broke her leg.
Along with her son Roland, she has two other children, Connie and
David, and two grandchildren.
She continues to serve as Fresno Metro Registrar and as the
Secretary/Treasurer of District VII.
When asked why she does it, her answer is simple: "I just want the
kids to play."
CYSA congratulates Gladys on a honor that is so well
deserved!
