Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot all teams make the top tier playoffs just like the ECNL. The difference between the two leagues is that now the DA Cup makes those "non-playoff" games meaningful for the DA teams because placement in the cup is determined by the previous years results. Thet are playing for something up until the end whereas non-playoff ecnl teams are not or arent playing at all.

Not all the parents on my kids ECNL team are helpful to others and not all the kids are team players. The ECNL team unit (parents mostly) can be very territorial and not as forthcoming about college camp/id sessions, etc. god forbid someone from the team finds out and wants to join little mia going to this camp or that one. The ODP staff only want the kids to succeed.
So, there's that.
You mean to tell us that there is value in odp because .... you get valadation from other parents and they will tell you about ID clinics. Pay me the $1500 + and I will tell you when every school within 8 hours of the liberty bell are having their id clinics. Did you ever think your ECNL peers don't tell you anything because they dont want it all over facebook or did it ever occur to you its really none of your business? Plus you shouldn't be going to ID clinics because Mia is going, you should go because your kid is interested in the school.

Not all club coaches will be that candid in particular if they are trying to steer you to either a league or a program. SYSH

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostD played ODP last few years. Has made the Region 1 team. She loves the level of play at the camps. She says she has learned a lot from ODP coaches, more than from her club team. That's her experience. Everyone's is different.
