Player Development Programs (PDPs) are regionally-based identification and development programs within US Club Soccer’s id2 Program with three primary goals: (i) provide top players within specified elite leagues with an opportunity to be identified and evaluated for higher levels of play; (ii) provide a high quality developmental experience; and (iii) recognize and reward individual performance and achievement.  PDPs are operated in conjunction with elite leagues sanctioned by US Club Soccer.

The ECNL PDP in Richmond will include a training session and two 11 vs. 11 games over two days. Top players from each ECNL PDP, along with other players scouted in ECNL competition throughout the year, will be considered for invitations to the ECNL / id2 National Training Camp in August.

Players are selected for the Player Development Programs based on their performance in ECNL competitions and by objective recommendations from ECNL Directors across the country. ECNL will be hosting eleven PDP events across the country over the next three months, providing an opportunity for top players in every ECNL club. There are no costs for participation in Player Development Programs.
