Oh yeah, I forgot we were supposed to be talking about ECNL and ODP and not one particular club.

again...how was ODP this season?




IMO....same as usual. SCYSA's ODP program is lame at best and this year was complete chaos. Poor leadership and no direction.

I talked to 3 players. Never said premier. I don't know a whole lot about GB. Just said she's a good player.

It was worse this year than in previous years, if possible. ODP has become irrelevant in SC and a waste of money. Lots of grumblings about not going to/paying for camp this year.

I can summarize ODP in three short sentences:

It's not "Olympic."
There's no "Development."
And it ain't a "Program."

Everyone probably now knows I like data

Reading where this thread has gone, it would be interesting to know how many of the anti-ECNL and/or anti-CESA voices were related to the 92s team being thrown about. That certainly seems to be a common theme in the last few pages, but it might just be coincidence.

It does seem that fielding a premier level U-18 team must be difficult. Whether already committed, senioritis, don't want to play in college or something else, the motivation level has to drop unless the player simply lives, eats and breathes the sport.

That was our experience as well.

Oh no Harry, you are right. They were not FORCED.

The Coaches came in and politely asked, "Would any of you like to play in 3 Leagues?"

"Would it be OK if we play in 3 Leagues?"

"We promise you want have to do but whatever it is you want".

"And we'll get some sponsors to underwrite the cost, err, no, that's what we said 2 years ago that never came to fruition, err, ahh, errr..."

Last year teams involved in ecnl did not pay training fees or coaches expenses at CESA- the club took care of that.

This year parents did pay training fees but did not pay for coaches expenses- the club took care of those.
