ODSL has been so wonderfully quirky. Some outstanding teams like the Olimpiakos teams. I remember reffing a game with a team that had just moved over from CCL2, and they were stunned to be blown out.

Not too long ago, ODSL was a viable place for big clubs' third and fourth teams, and some of those players moved on to play at pretty high levels. Can't be too surprised. Coaches make a lot of mistakes at U9 tryouts.

How long until NCSL, CCL, ECNL, EDP, and other leagues follow suit?

Place your bets!


As others have pointed out, you're wrong as to the reason the season was canceled. But aside, why are you excited about the other leagues canceling? You're the epitome of tone def.


I beg your pardon but... I cannot see a reason mentioned in that post. It’s only a statement.

Also, you make assumptions because nowhere does that person state any excitement. So, the question is: UmadBro?


I beg your pardon, but it's not hard to read between the lines with the OP...at all. ODSL canceled because of lack of teams, not because of health concerns. What in the world does that have to do with NCSL for example (which doesn't lack for teams)?

Saying "place your bets" with an exclamation certainly implies excitement.

Your observations/analysis/defense is pretty dumb overall.


Your entire response is dumb. Like the existence of ODSL.

Big blow to Loudoun Soccer club.
They field like 1-2 teams in ODSL per age group (Cash cows to pay those coaches and super duper amazing 6 figure earning employees).

Wonder what they’ll tell families now since there is legitimately no reason for them to keep existing (those ODSL teams I mean). $2.5K for scrimmages against other teams within the club? Sounds like an expensive scrimmage in my opinion!


they'll probably stick them in NCSL

which club is you talking about?

I am not sure I follow your thought process here.

May you please be so kind to elaborate?

Thank you very much!

ODSL didn’t have enough teams... NCSL (and I assume the others) have plenty.
