      Never heard of captains all the years my daughter played ODP. But oh well, whatever. Just think it must suck going through life with a chip on your shoulder over everything being so unfair.

          There are two girls in ODP committed to FSU, a 2018 and a 2019. Colleges want their commits playing at the highest level.

            The player attended National Camp and is special.

              Actually, it is sort of a different dynamic. There are about 40 girls per age group in the Region III "pool" and 18 were selected to the Thanksgiving Interregionals team.

              You would think that some of the remaining 22 deserving girls in the "pool" would be invited to participate in the International trips since they did not have a shot at the Interregionals. For the most part - not true. The "chosen" get "chosen" again (with a few exceptions).

                "For the most part" - you have no idea what you're talking about. Unless things have changed this year (and not sure how you would know that), every girl in the Region Pool has been invited to at least one event every year for at least the last 4 years that my daughter was involved. I'm not aware of any girls selected to Region Pool who were never invited to any events. Interregionals, International trip, or National Training Camp. Personally I thought the National Training Camp was the best event my daughter attended of the three, but most people seem to place a higher priority on the Interregionals.

                  The National training camp would be the next step to making a national team.

                    No, that would be a National Team Camp. National Training Camp is another ODP age group event.

                      The 2001 Florida Girls team that won the National ODP Championship in AZ had six girls in the Region Pool last year. Two of the six girls that made the Region Pool last year were invited to the Interregionals. The remaining four were not invited to Interregionals or any other event.

                        OK Mike, you know this is not true. Take this year as an example. There are 43 girls listed in the OPD Region Pool for 2001 and 41 girls listed for 2000. Since ODP Region III had the genius idea to combine this group that is 84 girls for one age group. So if every "girl in the Region Pool gets invited to at least one event every year" then there needs to be almost 5 rosters of 18. Let's say one group of 18 just played the Interregionals. That leaves almost 4 more groups of 18 to do another event - but there is only 1 International trip for this age group. So what "events" do the the other 3 groups participate in? They don't.

                        This is the shell game that ODP has been playing for years.....

                          Do they combine the age groups for the tournaments abroad?

                            Truth - especially because several of the 18 girls that played the Interregionals will also be named to the International trip.

                              Not Mike, and if you're going to use "quotes" you should try to get it right. I didn't say "every "girl in the Region Pool gets invited to at least one event every year", I said "every girl in the Region Pool has been invited to at least one event every year for at least the last 4 years that my daughter was involved". My daughter has aged out and is now playing in college. So if what you say is true, I can only say it must suck to be a 2001.

                                Not sure how you were privileged to have access to all those invitations and know who accepted or declined so I won't argue that. For the record, the rosters posted list 11 from that team on Region Pool, 5 on Interregionals, one to National Training Camp, no idea how many made the international trip. Do you know for fact how many were invited to all those events and declined?
