    ODP interregional

    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.

    No. It's a joke! B level players that play against B competition.

        There are still ECNL players , the ones who can make it to a regional team. There may be only a few players from Florida as on each birth year team there are 18 players on the roster from the many states in the region.

          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.

            Girls can get scouted for NTC at any event or venue and your child is a testament it does not have to be ODP or PDP.

              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

                33 of the current 40 WNT players played in the Thanksgiving Day Interregional. It's no joke and the 18 girls selected from each region will get looked at by the National Team Coaches and a ton of College Coaches.

                    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.

                        Wish ODP could bring two teams from each region, but the 18 players chosen to represent their region have a great opportunity.

                          Yes Dopey, hate to burst your bubble, but none from Florida and Very FEW from region 3 at all!! The region 3 groups never do good at these events compared to R1 and R4

                            Right, so your kid is much better off not participating.

                              Also the U15 USWNT is playing the U17 ODP Region teams. The scouts will be out and about.
