ODP isn't what it used to be. Still might be worth it to some but toss up or not worth it for others. Most better OR players will now do ECNL or Thorns Academy (also id2, etc) so plenty of opportunities to be seen. RTC level at least has questionable coaches & politics/favoritism galore. Definitely not a "must do" anymore.

Many reasons. More offerings like id2& pdp. RTC/ODP started taking anyone at the area level. Last year we had 40 kids and one coach (true top players can certainly often had to cotrainly make better use of their time), the Timbers taking over and many non Timbers top players not doing it, some top players seeing it wasn't as good & playing basketball instead, the quality of the coach (tho I don't know how they expect a quality product w/40 kids-thought our coach was great but only so much they can do), now ECNL is here pulling even more top players away. Still, it's one more soccer thing your kid can do & many will still benefit. It's simply not the best 18 players in the state anymore. Partake or not, buyers choice.
