The Elite Development Program (EDP) is WOSC’s high-performance environment designed for U18+ players who are committed to pushing their game to the next level and pursuing opportunities within University, College, and Professional soccer.

EDP provides a competitive, demanding, and development-focused environment that bridges the gap between youth soccer and the senior game. The program is designed for ambitious players who want to continue developing technically, tactically, physically, and mentally while preparing for the expectations of post-secondary and professional soccer.

Players train and compete within a high-performance environment where commitment, accountability, intensity, and consistency are expected. Sessions are designed to challenge players through purposeful training, competitive game environments, and exposure to the standards required at higher levels of the game.

This program is for players looking to train several times a week in a competitive environment.

Only players who complete the PowerUp Tryout registration will be allowed on the field for tryouts.
