Coaching / Forms

All PDP coaches must complete an on-line disclosure form as part of the KIDSafe program. No coach, head or assistant, may have contact with any player as a representative of the Nebraska Olympic Development Program without both forms on file.

The Olympic Development Program begins a new each year. Provided a coach has not been with an age group for two years, the coaching staff from the previous year will be given preference.

Coaching selections are made by the Director of Coaching. Coaches are expected to read the ODP Policy Manual prior to accepting a position.
