[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ODP is dead.  If your kid's goal is to play in college or make an academy, use your time and money on something else.  No serious player with serious prospects is doing ODP anymore.  [/quote]

I love it when players from this area don't make it past state selection in ODP and now parents say, nobody good does ODP.

Its ironic that the ODP national team selections are not filled with good players at all:

All these 2006/2007 players are in the USYNT pool/ MLS academies or already heading off overseas to play or D1 --I'd say they all have serious prospects.  ODP Regional and Nation selection is the hardest selection to make...so parents clapback with sour grape generalizations.

But I agree, ODP is inconvenient and it is hard to participate in after the state selection. The odds to making the regional team are very small. Lastly, less players participate in it as they age due to competing demands.  But I wouldn't say unserious players with no prospects participate in it are the only one participating. My kid did not make it past state either, but its disingenuous to throw out the whole program.  And I would look stupid by saying, my kid didn't make it to the next level because they are only accepting terrible players.  :thumbdown:

Lots of words written to imply something that didn't happen.  My kids didn't waste time on ODP and neither did any of their teammates.  [/quote]
