    Should I play ODP instead of ECNL? What do I get from ODP in CT?

      There is apparently a small revival trying to happen.

        ODP was a big deal back in the day. With clubs now in ECNL and DA there is absolutely no reason to spend the extra time and money on ODP. Coaches at ODP are far worse than anything you have at club level.

        Same exposure in ECNL and DA as ODP maybe even better.

            How old are you? This is no place for children. Go back to tik tok.

              "eek" because they lost? or because that was who they scheduled? I have fond memories of ODP's glory days, so I'm genuinely curious about this.

                DA no longer exists

                  ECNL is the platform for girls; MLS Next for boys. ODP is a waste of time. Has been for a decade. Don’t waste your money. You’ve been warned.

                    It can be decent for younger players but not past U14 - but it all depends on what club you're at now and what you're hoping to get out of it. It used to be so much stronger but the big leagues have pulled nearly all the top talent out by U13 or so

                      It’s not even decent these days; the coaching is awful. Take it from someone who put their kid through it; don’t waste the time.

                        ODP is great, even better if you can make regional team. ODP is not run as a business like ECNL is.

                          The eek was for the opponent- a town EDP side. ODP not even trying to hide how far they've fallen.

                            It's a shame what has happened to that program. Some state organizations still put some effort into it but CT has forgotten it like a stepchild
