Someone told me this was a thread last year, but I cant find it. Apologies for rehashing...
My u13 son is one of the strongest players on a very good premier club. He usually plays the entire game and has played a few games with our u14 team. Our coach thinks he can benefit from some additional training surrounded by top players and offered to get him into PDP for the winter session
My son wants to stay with this club (otherwise we would look at some of the DA clubs).
My question is what do people think about programs like PDP or ODP (some have said iODP is on the rebound in CT). What are the costs? Is it worth the time/money or are we better off hiring a coach for a few 1on1 sessions?
My son is actually the one pushing to do more. I'm conscious about burnout and would only consider this if it really helped him and was fun. Neither he nor I have any interest or dreams of D1 offers or pro careers. He simply wants to see how good he can get and I basic feel the same way.
