David Rojas
U13 GirlsI want my teams to play with personality: brave on the ball, hungry without it, and clear on their job. I push every player a little further than they think they can go, and I make sure they enjoy the work that gets them there.

Year-round, on a 44-week plan. OPDL sets 4.5 to 6 hours of training a week, not counting games. Our 2026-27 winter schedule has each OPDL group on 3 to 4 sessions a week, 60 to 90 minutes each, at BMO Centre and school gyms, with separate goalkeeper sessions.
What we work on at U13
- Love of the challenge
Enjoy hard work, try new things without fear and bounce back fast from mistakes.
- Agility and coordination
Balance, speed of feet and change of direction, built through games with the ball.
- Mastery of the ball
Both feet, first touch, 1v1 moves and passing that holds up under pressure.
- Reading the game
Scan before receiving, find space and choose the right option in 9v9.
The season
May to October. U13 is the bridge year: 9v9, no published scores or standings, and the whole 24-player pool trains to OPDL standards while game days are shared across OPDL and other club teams.
Conference: Western Conference (U13 West)
Halfway reseeding: No reseeding at U13. Teams play East or West all season and the focus stays on development, not the table.

OPDL · U13 Boys · Born 2014
Garrincha
U13 BoysMost young players look at the ball. The best ones look up first, so every session I run forces that habit: read the cues, decide early, and take a first touch that already knows where it is going. When a player solves a problem on match day without looking to the bench, that is the work paying off.
