[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get selected for the ODP regional and national team selections... which is not meaningless at all. It's quite a distinction and would make any player standout; also it would bypass the politics and connections associated with getting on the radar of USYNT scouting officials.

[b]I never understood "parents" who shut down options for kids to try other programs, particularly programs for kids who might not have all the rousers and quality competition in their region/ local neighborhoods.

Each state is different, but we have found the training to be very good when compared to our travel team training.  (Last year, our Coach just showed up 5 min before practices and would do 1 drill, then scrimmage the whole time...)  So, for us, it has been worth it. We did 10 training sessions for $250...which has been least expensive soccer training we have completed.     [/quote]

In my case, I'm not interested in paying for or getting my kid to any soccer programs besides the travel team they're already playing for — my kid seems to be in no danger of playing college soccer when they get older, let alone going pro, and I just don't see the point of investing more time or money. They like playing, the coaching with non-top-level travel team is way better than it was in rec, and they have friends on the team, so, great, but getting on anyone's radar isn't an issue with my kid, so I think I'll pass on more carpooling or fees.[/quote]
