The winter training at the dome is decent and relatively inexpensive. Just pass on the state team and the ridiculously high fees associated.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI heard GPS tells their players not to bother with ODP. I'm sure Seacoast does the same. That would leave NWC and town players as the majority. Should be a fun regional camp for NH teams.
My experience is that for most of the families have experienced ODP had done it for one year and found it to be an expense that is not needed based on paying the high club fees and getting better training and competition at their club.

We toyed with the idea but honestly with all the commitments, futsal, etc. there's just no time.

My son plays for an NPL club team, and he played for the NH ODP team. His NPL club team is in fact better (more skilled) than the state ODP team. However, my son was named to the ODP Region 1 player pool. At the "call back camp" for pool players the quality of play was truly stellar... some of the best youth soccer I've seen. So perhaps the NH team ODP is not quite on par with NPL clubs... but it is a different story if your son/daughter advances to the regional pool.

ODP feedback spring 2017
We participated and it was a very negative experience. Practice constantly cancelled, extreme lack of communication, many recreational players making the roster. We lost a few of our best players right before the tournament. NEP clubs in NH do not encourage players to participate in ODP. Now NH is getting into more NPL teams, which also shy away from ODP due to schedule conflicts and their poor reputation. This results in teams that are not competitive. All NH teams performed poorly at the tournament. NH ODP is primarily based on making money, and not focused on player development or identification.

Just reiterated what I thought initially. ODP's ship as a viable, worthwhile program sailed over a decade ago.

The program is a shell of itself as someone mentioned. The fact that they allow Mass residents to play, shows their numbers are low.
