[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My perspective on things.  If Barca is a premier club, then they need to compete at that level.  You aren't going to attract top talent when you have to advertise my top team is EDP and everyone else is ODSL, can you guarantee me that my kid is on the EDP roster?

It's not about shopping leagues, its about level of competition you will encounter.  ODSL is a low league for 3rd level and below teams in large clubs and independents for everyone else.  Shows me that Barca isn't recruiting top talent and ODSL isn't going to get them there.  [/quote]

Barca is trying to develop, not attract, top talent.  There is a difference.  There are no tryouts for existing players, and they won't be replaced by a new recruit. It's a long term investment and a culture change.  We don't know yet if it will ultimately be successful here.  I don't think Barca cares what people will think of putting some teams in ODSL.  What they are looking to show is how they can develop these players and teams to improve over several years, and that their development methodology works.  If they can take a team from ODSL at U10-13 and have that same team competing in something like EDP at say U15-6, then the approach would be proven out.  [/quote]
