    Getting your kid's name listed is for parents and the club to brag.
    Funny my son just got a call asking if he wanted to make the trip to Alabama again this year since his current commitment is only till June and starts up again August. Looks like even ODP is finding ways to manipulate the system.

        And won't be with GDA either. The girls side is currently the only decent part of ODP (and even that is weakened vs prior) and GDA will squash that

          Just the opposite. It will strengthen it. You fail to admit how few girls can actually participate in Girls DA. There will be a lot of quality girls that won't/can't participate in Girls DA.

              Very true. The nonDA girls will have ODP and other paths for higher development. ODP offers opportunities for exceptional players, especially those who can progress through to the higher state, regional and national levels of ODP.

                We had 2 players go that are not even top players in our conference. It hurt our team because not many teams can miss their top players and still win. They have no chance of making ODP. But like a lot of people have said on here, they will take your money.

                  Top players on your team yet they have no chance of making ODP? How bad does your team suck?

                    I am by no means a soccer guru nor did I ever play the game seriously. But with both of my kids playing the sport, I can say I have watched a lot of soccer games from U6 to u16. And I can say that in the 04 boys age group, there were about a dozen "special players" and several more that with the right coaching would reach that status. Where the 80 plus kids that showed up to the ODP trials all studs or game changers, no they were not. But will ODP field a very competitive A team and good 2 and 3rd teams, yes it will.

                      One loss so far this season. When they weren't there.

                        Then that is not much of a "team" if he is the only way you can win.

                          ODP coaches will tell the kids that any club or team responsibilities come before ODP. Missing games, even for a tryout is not okay. So without knowing anything about what league you're playing in, you seem to think you have a decent team but don't think your two best players are deserving of selection to ODP? Honestly you just sound jealous that they're going and your kid isn't.

                            No matter what the ODP coaches tell the kids, they missed the league game. It hurt our team. That's selfish. I'D RATHER PLAY WITH KIDS WHO CARE.

                              He and They are different. Are you aware of that? Plus we have won 9 games with them and lost one without them. Bring your sorry ass team our way and we'll send you home crying (if our two best players are there)
