Anonymous wrote:ODP benefits areas that don't have ECNL, MLS Next or GA leagues. In the DMV, its a supplemental nice-to-have if you need extra ball touches. For us personally the drive wasn't worth it for our players (about 2 hours away). We know players who have been selected for the ODP national team and did quite well playing opponents overseas. Good experience for her, but as others have mentioned more for fun and the experience to play with other players outside of her club.

You take this for a joke
ODP is better than ECNL for a young player in exactly what ways?
I'm not the one who posted above, but every player and parent is looking for something different. It's no secret that club soccer is full of politics, pressures, and facades. Maybe some people like the dynamic of ODP. It could be less pressure, a better level for their kid, the training schedule or anything. Don't judge because you don't think the level is as good.
Who does only ODP?
Nobody said they did. There are a couple every year who are clubless though. ODP can provide things club can't in the minds of some. It must be hard work going through life criticizing others for every little thing they say and do.
There needs to be more criticism
That's why everyone thinks they're a soccer expert. Too much nonsense goes unquestioned and unchallenged.
For the record, my kids did not play in ODP. Older son plays in the ACC. This isn't my first rodeo, but thank you for educating me.
Experience isn't knowledge.
Talking shit isn't either.
You not liking facts isn't talking shit.
