How big of a fraud is ODP?

I'm not naïve to know what ODP is in 2018. But for a kid that is 13 years old, its a cool experience. We would have paid the same amount of money for her to attend a college soccer camp, so what's the difference? She can now meet/play with some players that she normally competes against and build more relationships. Do I see this being anything that leads to anything bigger at 13 years old? Most likely not. She will get more opportunities from her ECNL team. Of course we are not with the best players in the state due to DA not allowing it and a-hole parents who talk down on it. Take it for what it is worth. Its a fun experience for the kids.

It gets very competitive at the region level. The level of play in Alabama is exceptional and the players can immediately jump on the field and play high level possession soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostID2 sounds serious. What is it?
FYI
ODP = US Youth Soccer (USYS) ODP Program (What every body calls ODP is in fact an "ODP Program" of USYS Like calling Kleenex vs. Facial tissue. ODP state is run by State US Youth Soccer associations (FYSA). This basically the only ODP prgram up until 6-10 years ago so USSF relied more upon this.
ODP = Super Y also has ODP program
PDP = Another US Club Soccer ODP program
NTC (National Training Center) also called US Soccer training Centers = ODP type program directly run by US Soccer Federation (USSF). When USSF got sick of every league creating ODP programs with greatly varied standards, they created there own.
2nd FYI - The US Club Soccer (PDP and ID2), Super Y (ODP) , and NTC are all free. USYS (really their State Associations like FYSA) charge for this program.

ODP is a playing opportunity. In many states, it is a good way for kids that live in rural or urban areas to be exposed to higher level coaching and games. Most places don’t offer DA programs, or players live where it is difficult geographically to train weekly at a more advanced level. ODP was a helpful tool for players in the late 1980’s to early 2000’s when DA and ECNL programs didn’t exist. I don’t think anyone thinks that ODP is at the top of a development pyramid, or that all the best players participate, so what is the problem with kids using it to have more playing opportunities? If my child wasn’t good enough to play DA or to be selected to the top club team and ODP was an option I might sign him up.
