Ignoring the fact that ODP sucks and it isn’t a shadow of what it used to be, which I’m sure many of the replies will say anyway, how is the communication and collaboration between the ODP administration and USYS clubs in MA?

It’s horrible. Our club seemingly works out their practice schedule to intentionally conflict with ODP. It’s too bad, because ODP is a great program that focuses exclusively on player development. The clubs are more conflicted because they need to win to keep their parents happy.

Just as applicable a question, how good is the communication between the clubs and their families within them? Listen if the clubs aren't feeding back information about the player to their parents in the first place, what does it actually matter what ODP does or doesn't communicate to them?

Many clubs discourage ODP participation - they want you all to themselves - so wy would they make an effort to coordinate/cooperate?

If your player is good enough to make ODP in MA then you should do it. Seven MA girls were picked for ODP Region 1 pool training. They are all great players, most playing at pre DA, ECNL, or top NPL teams.

If you are finding value in it, then your ECNL club isn't doing their job.

That's pretty damning for ECNL then. Charge that much money, that much commitment, and you need to go elsewhere to fulfill your soccer needs?
Sad.
