Yes making inter regional is a great accomplishment.
Anybody ever wonder why you have never seen her at any CT ODP event but when there is an excuse to fly to Florida in winter... Yah.
Just one (of many) reason 80% of the top players in CT don't bother with ODP anymore.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI'm not a huge fan of ODP but that is just pure hatin. There are multiple pathways to college and beyond. ODP is a pathway and it was a slick video. Chill out. Any time you can bring good coaches an players together it is a good thing.
Not trying to take anything away from the players that made to the regional level they all worked hard and are no doubt great players. It's the future that is clearly going to be a problem. Will ODP invite a player like JB if she never did odp. Players at US club soccer clubs will be sent to ID2 events directly by there club many ECNL clubs discourage ODP participation. mass ODP is devoid of top ECNL club players. CT is a few years behind in this transition process but it's already started. I don't think it's pure hate but frustration that those in charge did not do more to stem the tide. CJSA rebuffed club soccer for years and now the are left outside in the club. Legacy aspects of ODP one of the few things they get to be prideful about. But if you look at the younger ages you know it's a matter time before it become irrelevant at the elite level.
I love idea of multiple pathways but you have to have substance and vision and plan. CJSA is a very stuck in the mud reactive organization. The video is step in the right direction but the really change is at the state level and that takes a lot work and effort than hiring a fancy video company to produce couple videos.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhen the last time JB did something with ODP at the state level? ODP was a pathway maybe had some flaws but still a great pathway for any great players. Now it is sham to collect money. Have you seen what they are doing on the boys side. This fall they had tryouts for 2005 boys really? The players at the younger ages may be decent players but it's not a collection of the best of the best in the state.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's a player. The prior post makes it seem like JB is a coach or administrator. Why would any player have an obligation to do anything with the state ODP program? Those are her own politics to manage.
She may be the last great player out of CT to come out of state CJSA state run ODP.

Facts are facts
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe point is player like JB will no longer use state ODP as a vehicle. She is a legacy of ODP several years ago. The level of play has gone down in the state that I doubt she does any training with the state ODP. She has no obligation but it's telling not of her but the state of the state ODP.

USYSA/ODP revamping, ECNL/Npl/id2 not only way to get exposure.
Did you see the video, did you see the college coaches, the us national team scouts? That's not at an ECNL showcase. It's an ODP interregional event. Eat some humble pie today you will feel better soon.

Not sure why people think the best players left ODP. It's just not the case. There are players there that are on ECNL/NPL also.
