Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSure it is. And regions cup is a big deal too. ODP is antiquated and irrelevant.
And if you look at it as another platform in conjunction with club and HS soccer, it does provide a fun and rewarding player experience. Our daughter is going into her third year of ODP and has a blast and has made many good friendships with other girls from across the State. As usual, the folks that usually believe it is "irrelevant" are often the same ones whose kid didn't make the cut.

If you are referring to the fact that it used to be the primary platform for getting discovered to play in college, then it is true that there are several other platforms for getting discovered - but that doesn't make it any less relevant. It is still a primary platform for getting discovered - just not the only one any more.

Sorry your kid didn't make it last year, but if you are correct, then bring your kid out to tryout against "recreational players" and your kid should shine like the north star and be the best player on the field.
Good luck with that.
