Our players are prepared to be recognized by collegiate and Olympic Development Programs for their high level of skill, quality of play, and understanding of the game as well as their passion for the sport, positive attitude, and sportsmanship. Eastside players are consistently picked for Oregon ODP, Regional ODP, Regional Training Center, and Timbers Alliance teams and boast a history of success at those levels.
