Developmental Team
To help determine the right competitive pathway for junior players, OSSA created the Developmental Team which is a 12U program that consists of hand-selected players by our coaches.
The purpose behind the Developmental Team is to give players an opportunity to improve before deciding which path to take going into Middle School-- either high level junior tournaments and/or participate on high school teams.
Official tryouts are used for selection and each player MUST be selected into this program.
Previous participation on the Developmental Team does not guarantee future placement of any kind to any invite-only groups.
National Team

The OSSA National Team is an Invite-Only group that the OSSA National Coaches select based on a number of criteria. Select criteria includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Top 200 USTA National ranking and/or Top 25 Mid-Atlantic Sectional ranking
- L3 or higher level National Tournament participation in the previous 12 months
- Commitment to training schedule (i.e. 5-6 days of training per week)
- Commitment to the OSSA program in the past year
- Full Time Online Program exemption
The OSSA National Coaches reserve the right to add or subtract any players to/from the National Team at any point during the year.
Make-Up Policy
Spring, Fall and Winter Sessions & Summer Session
OSSA's make-up policy allows each player to miss up to 2 clinics in each of the Spring and Fall Sessions. Those classes missed must be made up during the respective season and may not be carried over into the next session or any future sessions. It is the player's responsibility to attend the clinics and any missed clinics over the 2 allotted absences will be forfeited.
For the Winter Session, OSSA allows each player to miss up to 4 clinics. Those classes missed must be made up during the respective season and may not be carried over into the next session or any future sessions. It is the player's responsibility to attend the clinics and any missed clinics over the 4 allotted absences will be forfeited.
OSSA will, however, provide a "Make-Up Session" for 1 week between the Winter and Spring Sessions (First 2 weeks in April) and for 1 week between the Fall and Winter Sessions (First 2 weeks in November). Those make-up classes will be reserved for only players who signed up for multiple days of training.
For the Summer Session, OSSA allows make-ups to be done throughout the summer months. No make-ups will be allowed to be carried over into the Fall Session or any future sessions.
