      No club logos allowed. All players given combine style numbers.
      ODP is a joke. **** players and idiot parents. No high level club players are in ODP. Maple league and travel league kids. Pathetic bunch !

          Responding to trolls is like wrestling with a pig... everyone gets filthy and the pig enjoys it.

                If you are a DA player and happy, then no need for ODP and you can't participate anyway. If you are the top 1-4 player on an area ECNL team that is ranked in the top 10 in the State and top 50 in the region/nation, then no need.

                If you are anything other than those listed above, it is another venue for training and playing with area top talent in front of different coaches with no agenda, a possessive attacking style, and potential for further ID to Regional and National teams.

                So, for the 20 or so DA players and then the top 3 or 4 players with FC Stars, feel free to move on from ODP and this thread. For the other 1000 players in an age group looking for the above, feel free to try out.

                  Ok, I read all 24 pages so I'm caught up. Here's a summary:

                  1) USSF will pull more and more from GDA over ODP
                  2) ODP players are very unlikely to be on YNT
                  3) ODP is not a great development program
                  4) ODP full of confused kids and parents with more $ than talent

                  That sums it up

                    You could say the same thing about many clubs and programs across the state.

                      Capt Obvious summarized the negatives. No one believes ODP is a pathway to YNT.
                      For the overwhelming majority of players in the middle of the pyramid, ODP provides a valid option (there are others) to test players for the next level.
                      If you are a regional club player, ODP tests you for NPL level of play.
                      If you are NPL, ODP provides opportunity to make R1 Pool
                      Making R1 Roster is a reasonable resume item to put in intro email to coaches
                      Having a good showing in ODP Inter-Regionals (Boca) puts player on many people's radar.

                      ODP is no different that any other vehicle in youth soccer. It's a waste of money and time for most, and there are the few who rise up.

                        There is an ODP player from CFC north/ United that was invited to the u14 ynt camp. How do you like them apples?

                          Awesome! Great for her and a perfect example of how ODP can help a talented player rise up.
                          Now that she's been invited to ynt, how long till she's directed to a DA program?

                            I think you have your facts wrong. Which camp?

                              Where are all the ODP players called up to GNT/WNT? Am I missing something?

                                What are you missing? ODP is not a club. It's an ID vehicle along with a training program. You won't see anyone list it as their club affiliation.
