[quote=Anonymous]Our experience in with Va. ODP and may not entirely apply to Maryland, however, we are in the same region so it may help. My son is participating in ODP for his second year. He is a 2001. Last year he made district and state. This year he made district and will try out for state this weekend. Here is what I learned from last year: The Va ODP claim: - Each player is "guaranteed" the opportunity to participate in an "ODP event" The Va. ODP reality: - VA takes 3 teams to the tournaments BUT takes way more kids than are allowed on 3 teams. The reality is that some players are not picked for ANY tournaments. This pisses off a lot of parents (rightly so I think) who have driven hours to practice weekend after weekend sometimes in bad weather conditions. - Va ODP gets away with making the above claim because they allow all State players to attend the Region I ODP camp. This camp costs $600+ - There is really no point in going to the regional camp unless you went to the tournaments, and even then there is no guarantee that a regional coach will look at a player\ [/quote]
