New Jersey Youth Soccer has set the dates for its 2017 ODP tryouts, with four separate sessions planned for July 29-30 (Bordentown, N.J.) and August 12-13 (Wall, N.J.).

“We are excited to announce the dates of our ODP tryouts,” executive director of NJ Youth Soccer Evan Dabby said. “These tryouts enable us to identify top athletes throughout the state and help them continue in their advancement as players. We will host tryouts on four different dates, and we strongly encourage all trialists to participate in multiple sessions.”

All trialists are encouraged to attend more than one session to further strengthen their chance of selection into the program. Once a $40 registration fee has been paid, athletes will be allowed to participate in all four tryouts. Specific times for each age group are posted on the NJ Youth Soccer website (Girls|Boys).
