Do we need another ODP thread? That corpse has been collecting flies for a long time. Time to bury it.Comment

Disappointed!
Per Timbers literature" The Portland Timbers Olympic Development Program is a program designed to identify the top youth players in the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington."
My players wants to strive to make and be identified as one of the top youth players in the state.
However excitement wanes when lists came out.
The Portland North 03 Girls RTC named 47 players to the pool and then name 18 second look player. This does not take into account the players that will be named to Willamette, Central Oregon, Bend and Southern Oregon RTC.
Someone please tell me how that many players can be identified as being top youth players in the state of Oregon? I am missing something or is this a money grab? To me it seems like the Timbers took about 75% of the kids that showed up for tryouts. Nothing about this seems top or elite to me or my daughter.
Feeling disappointed and frustrated with a program that in it own words says "The principal Portland Timbers OYSA ODP mission is to identify, evaluate, and provide more consistent training opportunities for the elite youth soccer players in Oregon".
If Elite by definition means kids from B and C teams, Timbers hit the nail on the head. Feeling like it's a waste of time for the kids that are elite and want to grow and be trained with other quality players.Comment

Not only that, but none of the truly top players even tried out for ODP.Comment

The 03 Timbers ODP team would beat any oregon 03 team hands down ECNL FC who cares, DA, put any of them together and it would be bad......................Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Would the players have to play against their own club for ODP, get to choose between the two, be on their home club, or be on both in this scenario?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Judging by your response, I am assuming the ODP team has already been set even though RTC was just selected. Pay attention...this is how it works. It has already been decided how many players will come from each region. Gotta keep everyone believing they have a chance down in Medford, Salem, Eugene, and Bend. That's some good cash. We can't have too many from one club, especially if they are not TA clubs, TA is the pathway to the top of the pyramid. Follow this up with a pep rally, incomprehensible phrases, and pictures of Messi. Throw in a little parental insecurity and there you have it...money for nothing but the soccer's not free.Comment

It's all about the money, Timbers are using all the sucker money to pay for DA & new GDAP. Rtc money just keeps rolling in without limit.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

100% true. No "official state 03 team" until tryouts in December. So to the OP boasting that the "state" team would beat every team in the state, you are either a delusional RTC parent or someone who realizes the entire RTC system is a scam designed to make more money before they move on to the team they wanted all along. Which is it?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
