Quote: letmeput: 92 girls ODP was a total joke this year. Just my thoughts.
The ’92 girl’s ODP camp was a joke. The pooling of players appeared to be done by Quija board, with a rock, paper, scissor tie breaker. Then, the next day a quick game of Go Fish to reshuffle the players based on 1-2 minute observations while talking on a cell phone. Unfortunately, the Go Fish game was also played with marked cards. The training was sub par. Well, sub par for U-10 players. They actually played duck, duck, goose and handball soccer. You don’t expect that at U-17/18 ODP but maybe I’m not on the cutting edge of the newest elite training techniques. It was probably a mistake for most of the players to attend (and definitely for mine), though obviously not for the SC ’92 pool player-congrats to her!
I have heard so many negative things from many different players and parents about SC ODP this year. I think it has been going on for a while.It is a political mess.I have heard many say this is the last year they will spend the money for such a poorly organiized mess.More and more girls do not tryout because they feel it is not a fair tryout or selection. There are too many other good things going on in the girls soccer arena to spend the money on this.Maybe we should all boycott ODP and see what changes.
I heard that the Mississippi 93's borrowed the SC 93 goalkeeper for their match against South Carolina. MS 93's won on PK's with the SC girl between the pipes.
I believe that she is from your neck of the woods...She plays for Charlotte United under Vic.
