Olentangy United: Growth & Development Approach

The Methodology used to develop players at Olentangy United works through our Phase Model, where players will move from phase to phase and train with a new team of specialist coaches every 3/4 yrs.

This system provides for players to work with a team of coaches during their time developing. All focused on the same age of development and curriculum, however exposing players to a number of voices and personalities to help them reach their greatest potential.

The OUFC Developmental Phase Model:

  • Foundation Phase (FP)
    • Ages: U8 - U12  - "Train to LOVE the game."
  • Youth Development Phase (YDP)
    • Ages: U13 - U15 - "Train to UNDERSTAND the game."
  • Senior Prep Phase (SPP)
    • Ages: U16 - U18 - "Train to WIN the game."
