September 25th 2019

Lee Cullip and Ed Shone will be taking roles with STYSA ODP for the upcoming 2019/20 Season.

Cullip, who has previously coached within ODP Programs will take the role of Head Coach or the 2005 Girls team “I am excited to work with the players within the ODP Program, the ability to reach out and be directly involved in the larger football community excites me. The Program has evolved and the identification piece is so very important in the youth soccer environment. Success is not drawn in straight lines” Cullip said.

Along with Cullip, Ed Shone will join the ODP in his familiar role of Sports Scientist. “I am looking forward to working with the players and seeing what data we can get them that will help them in their footballing journey” said Ed Shone.

  • Instruction from highly-qualified coaches

  • Competition against other states’ ODP teams

  • Exposure to USYS Regional Scouts, US Soccer Scouts, Development Academy Coaches, Regional team scouts, and College coaches

  • The opportunity to represent South Texas and the South region in competition.

Gareth Glick, STYSA ODP Director Said “We are excited to add Lee Cullip to our ODP staff as a lead coach with our girls 2005 age group. Lee is an innovative coach with a wealth of knowledge and his principles of player development align with those of our ODP program. There is no doubt that our players will benefit tremendously from working with Lee” Glick continued “We are also excited to add Ed Shone to our ODP staff to work with our players in the area of Sports Science. We feel this is an area with huge potential benefits and we believe that Ed’s knowledge will have a positive impact in the long term development and education of players in our program’ Glick concluded.
