[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30 years ago when you had mostly parent coaches, not a lot of technical development, and top talent was more dispersed, it made sense to have a structure to get better players together for identification and training with some better coaches. Now - MLS-Next and ECNL-N players have no reason to do ODP, their coaching and training environments should be equal or better than anything ODP could provide.

It may be worth it for other players outside of that top tier, but they should know going in that it is just a few extra training sessions with different coaches and a different set of players. Expect experience to vary based on the coaches assigned and players that sign up just like any camp or other group training environment. [/quote]

I’d stick with MLSNext. The better league.  Better funded, better players and they play 40% more games in the regular season than ECNL N teams.  [/quote]

Except for undersized players.  That’s what ODP has become - at least around these parts.  It’s the place where late bloomers go to get reps.

My now normal sized kid  — after growth a growth spurt just made ECNL team.

But ODP was an excellent place for an ambitious undersized kid to get to next level.

Didn't the other thread on ODP say they only pick the bigger kids?  [/quote]
