Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe system is flawed; as an example- on the 03 'south' team, 12 out of 18 girls are from FL. The coach of the south team is a college coach of a mid-tier school in FL. Although its great for the girls from our state to get this recognition, of course the coach is trying to develop rapport and potentially recruit the FL girls to his school. No way those girls are the top 12 in the entire southeast when the club teams they play on are very mediocre to just bad. The coach knows he won't get the top talent from tophat or concorde and he knows how to work the system; ODP has run its course.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPeople say that ECNL and DA showcases are making ODP obsolete. But really, the internet is making ODP obsolete. With so much information out there about who coaches where and who plays where it is really easy to see when ODP makes some "dubious" selections. Couple that with the fact that all the older (recruiting age) girls follow each other on social media and talk when selections are made, it quickly becomes obvious when a political selection has been made. The girls know who can play and they are the first ones to spot when a "connected" girl is chosen over a better player.

You only need two adjacent fields and run the two age group games at the same time.
04 two games at 10am
03 two games at noon
02 two games at 2
01/00 two games at 4
Over three days the college scouts would see them plenty.
ODP Inter-Regionals should be similar to a DA or ECNL 3 Day Showcase.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA lot of truth to that. ODP claims that the entire system is set up to identify talent to "play at the next level" but when the players finally get to the age where they are read to go "to the next level" they cut the number of teams down to nothing.
And that is where the rampant corruption creeps in.
Does anyone have anything that remotely resembles "proof" that ODP is corrupt?
