[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use the search featuring did some research before posting.

Can anyone speak to the current ODP Maryland system? My son is U14 or 2012 and on he will be in an ECNL team this fall. Is ODP worth the tryout? Will it conflict with his current commitments to his club? Is the program in Maryland any good and worth the time and potential scheduling conflicts.

Also after the two days of tryouts what is the level of commitment if selected. I see there is a training schedule He won't be able to make many of those in the spring. [/quote]

ECNL is a dumpster fire.[/quote]

How is that? This will be our first season with ECNL. He played in high level EDP League before this club. We are new to ECNL. Because you say it's a dumpster fire would you recommend ODP? Should he be in MLS N? What's the best path in your opinion? [/quote]

Troll.  Ignore.  My only issue with ECNL is I wish VDA, NVA and Arlington would fold into MLS Next I and we would have a really solid local competition.  I would feel the same if it were MLS Next on the other side.  Most of our kids are not good enough to need to travel as far and much as the ECNL boys travel.  When they are, they will get picked up by DCU, Philly, etc.[/quote]

And I wish Alexandria, SYC and Achilles would go ECNL so that my kid could continue to play HS ball which he loves, and not travel to NC. But neither of us is getting our wish and unlikely it will change anytime soon. These clubs are locked down where they are. ECNL is highly competitive in VA --not every boy wants to go pro and go to online school at philly union or DCU.  That's why there are so many D1 college recruits from the VA ECNL teams. And if you don't believe just check the current commit list from 2025 from the VA clubs. [/quote]
