Yet 91-94 boys have something like 14 kids that made region pool versus 1 for the girls?




The largest part of the pool players comes from the 91 and 92 age groups.

The 92 girls don't surprise me THAT much. I don't think there's a 91 or 92 club team in SC that strikes fear in the hearts of CASL Elite or Charlotte Soccer Club or whoever the beasts of GA are.



BigDaddy might be onto something here. If you look at the boys pool players, you will see the bulk of the group are, DSC 90, CESA 90, CESA 91, and CUFC 91 players. These teams have been "regionally" known and respected for a few years. This would lead one to believe the success of the boys ODP selection has been influenced to some extent based on the club play.



firsttouch says that is not happening on the girls side and that it should.if that is the case then the states should not have tryouts and teams.you just take those club teams that think their players should be there and pick from them.
