Community Olympic Development Program

2016codp_nensa_long_navy_vNENSA is one of 15 programs in the United States to receive the Community Olympic Development Program designation by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).

The USOC has partnered with sport communities across the nation to help America’s youth receive the best sports development services possible. The USOC created the Community Olympic Development Program (CODP) in 1998 in order to address the needs of progressing athletes from the beginning stages of development to the elite level.

NENSA Is proud to be a Community Olympic Development Program for cross country skiing in New England. A few benefits NENSA receives & passes along to our community from the CODP designation include:

  • Increased awareness of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement
  • Olympic Day opportunities
  • National recognition for developing successful junior sports programming & increased opportunities for youth
  • Partnership with USOC and access to USOC resources and information
  • Grant and Funding opportunities
  • National Governing Body partnership
  • USOC Guest Speaker Opportunities
  • Access to SafeSport for all our NENSA members & Coaches:  Link to SafeSport on USSA

To date we have received funding, Guest Speakers, and exposure for our CODP athletes (NENSA’s Elite and Development teams, Junior National Team and Eastern HS/U16 Team members are all part of the CODP programming). Stay tuned as more opportunities become available to our community via this collaboration.

The mission of the CODP is to partner with National Governing Bodies and Community Sports Groups to enhance high quality intermediate sports programs for talented youth to maximize their potential in Olympic and Paralympic sports. In order to complete the mission of training talented and motivated young athletes, the CODP works closely with community sports organizations to take young athletes from the beginner level and train them for progression to NGB elite programs.
