Haven't been for a few years. Is it still worthwhile from an id (YNT and college recruiting) standpoint. A few years ago even after ECNL it still was useful.

Of course it's still useful. Anyone who says otherwise probably had their child not make it. Mine didn't make it. She also didn't make PDP. But she is doing well with NTC. It's all good. If you are into doing all your can do to move your child ahead in soccer - try for all of it. Don't bother asking here. But do realize that NTC is run by the people who ultimately choose national teams. For me, if my player made them all, I would do them all.

The ODP interregional is much more competitive than the NTC program except for the NTC combines which is kind of like the ODP state ODP (NTC) and regional team (NTC combine) levels. Since not all top kids participate in ODP anymore but they all participate in NTC combine the rank order is
YNT>> NTC combine>> id2 >/= ODP interregional team>> NTC>> state ODP

It is a lot like the ECNL showcases, but there are fewer games going on at once so there are coaches literally lined up 2 deep on the sidelines. My kid got several top colleges interested in her after one of these a couple years ago. That one may however have been a bit unusual because it corresponded with the college cup being nearby. At the time quite a few ECNL kids were doing ODP. Once committed though it seems unnecessary unless the kid has forged friendships he/she wishes to continue with.
