    PDP is worthless

    My kid tried out for the PDP in Walllingford. Best one on the field by far and still did not make it. I was told it was very political and since he does not play premier they won't accept him. JC is a fraud

    Celtic would be a great option for you.

      It definitely is. Someone will post something here telling you differently but that is not the case. My kid tried out years ago for NY ODP and we had the same experience. She was excellent on the field week after week during tryouts but was not selected nor were her other teammates that were very good also. You know who was selected? The players who were currently being trained by those ODP trainers making the decisions...and the lower quality players from my kid's team to balance it out and make it look as if all was done fairly. Another year we went through a similar process with PDP. There was no response at all from the PDP trainers...they claimed they lost her information. :) She is fine now but learned early on that life is not fair...it is who you know...

        my kid made it and opted out- she thought it was a huge waste of time- coaches on their phones BS practicesand if you miss you get cut- its a $$$ grab pure and simple
        CT ODP doesn't rate with college coaches they know its a crock

            Yes I will be one of those to tell you that has not been our experience at all. Tough to make, training has been excellent, great players in the group. Yes they are all premier players at the better clubs. Sorry your kid didn't make it

              Topic is PDP, not ODP. Two totally different programs. Yes CT ODP is a joke. Been on a crash course to nowhere for several years now. Some states still produce some good talent and run their programs well. CT is not one of them.

                Hopefully you are hitting the wrong letters on your keyboard with your stubby fingers. ODP and PDP are not the same thing

                  Well, ODP is worthless, too.

                    Interesting. I thought only those nominated got invited so how did a non premier player show up?

                        My point was same exists in NY for both PDP and ODP. Dishonesty and money grab $$$ not limited to Connecticut.

                          Anyone can register to try out and pay the $30 registration fee. If you are good enough, they will gladly take your money. No shortage of kids

                              If your wife is hot, have her take the kid to tryouts next time.
