The 2026-2027 ODP Season will have a 3 stage process to determine which players will receive invitations to the summer events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAGE 1 – Pool Assessments
STAGE 2 – Pool Training
STAGE 3 – State Team Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach will decongest the calendars, provide opportunities to more players to participate, and help us identify the top players for the Summer invite events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
