Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhy? The rules aren't ODP's rules but DA's. Same with HS coaches taking DA players. It's up to DA clubs and USSF to police its policies. Let me guess, you think your kid wasn't offered a spot because of them?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't agree because exceptions only breed more rule breaking. Why do some get exceptions and not others? How can you tell one group of kids you have to give up HS but another group doesn't have to? You can't. The resentment already out there from the private school waiver policy is bad enough. It also kills credibility when an organization is wishy-washy. Pick a policy, whatever it is, and stick to it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYour naming MLS clubs, there not good i agree! Get off the name brand stuff. RSL AZ is an affiliate. U-12 to u-14 these clubs will dispose of what you think is the best in florida. I woulld also toss De anza force in there for good measure. But what i am talking about is training not any club here is even close to the level, these clubs prepare kids for the next level
You named the mention club. It is hard to believe they train the academy team well while the professional team looks like crap. I really would like to know where you coach or which club your child plays for. I have meet plenty of parents that claim to be development experts. Once you see their kid play, they look just like any other kid.

Besides, very little recruiting comes from ODP any longer. That's why this is so dumb - why risk expulsion from DA for ODP? Isn't worth it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI totally agree, but as was said ODP has no obligation to enforce DA's rules. DA should be enforcing their own rules, or the clubs are their proxies. Same for players breaking the no HS rule. As for the parents teaching their kids it's ok to break rules, nice parenting lessons there.

this Is about kids development not old rules that DA doesn’t even adhere to. Anyway It’s really up to the da coaches and da club if they will allow your child to play odp as well.
Not sure what the problem is....the US scouts at the Odp events are same scouts that are deciding if your child should be invited to regional market training. Playing odp and Da club soccer has never kept my child from getting that market training invite either.
My belief is that odp offers another avenue to be coached, trained, and to be seen. Sorry if it keeps your kid from a spot at odp state, regional or national team.

2. DA Clubs may not permit any full-time Academy Player to participate on a non-DA team
during the Academy Season. The only permissible soccer related reasons to miss
Development Academy activities is National Team duty and YNT Identification Center
participation
followed by a several points regarding waivers for private school kids.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFrom a different state but the gda rules aren’t enforced here for no high school play. Player on gda full time roster also played public high school soccer with no issue. Other gda rules are also not enforced. I don’t think anyone cares. I think the public high school players should get to play too. It’s not fair that only the private school players get to do both.
