[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to all the positive replies.  Good experience overall.  True- all the driving is hateful and depending on where your kid is at from a development standpoint it might not be worth it.
Certainly not for everyone, but if your not playing for an ECNL or DA club it provides 10+ weeks of good competition as measuring stick to see where your kid stands against other quality players.[/quote]

My DD no longer does ODP because of DA.  Even if it wasn't banned, there is just no time.  But if she did drop back to the ECNL again, she would because of the way it compliments the high school season (in VA) and it is a chance to play with other players so she isn't just in a habit with her teammates, because it may give her a chance to play a different position, and to be with some other coaches.  I think the district is kind of a wash, but the state stuff was helpful and not that expensive.  But the regional tournament and camp the last year we went was awful.  The fields were terrible, the officiating was subpar and the competition was inferior.  The previous years It had been much better, so this is probably the DA effect.  I wouldn't recommend those two.  Not enough juice for the money. [/quote]
