Yeah? The costs, too? Care to provide a link? I haven’t seen any cost information on the website (it comes out in emails), and certainly not in a convenient-to-find format.

My son did ODP for the first time this year. The costs were somewhat laid out at a parents’ orientation during the state trials. Here’s what you got:

District training. 7-8 district sessions, 90 min, hopefully reasonably close to your house. Fall 2018 they were at Woodson HS. Fall 2017 at Evergreen (!).
Cost: ~$400

State Training. 9-10 sessions, 90-120 min (depending on whether it’s a normally scheduled session or a weather-truncated session.
Cost: ~$400 + ~ $50 for uniform items

Friendlies. There were two tournament-like “Friendlies” on the schedule this year, one in NC and one in Williamsburg. Originally scheduled for 3 games each. NC included food, hotel, and transport. Williamsburg would have not included transport (it was eventually cancelled at the last minute due to weather).
Cost for NC: $395 + incidentals for your kid.
Cost for Williamsburg: $375

Europe trip. We declined to participate, but the cost is around $3100.

There are a couple more ODP events this spring (listed on the website), and I anticipate the cost will again be around $400 apiece. The summer camp in July will be about $700.

So, if you go “all-in” on ODP, it could be up to $6200 over the course of the year:
400 at districts
400 for state
400 per event x 4
3100 for overseas trip
700 for camp

I’ve tried to post just the data without editorializing on the value. I definitely have some thoughts on that, too...
