JAK, do you have a daughter who plays soccer on the 94 ODP team , now or in the past?

Seems like SC ODP is in very sad shape, very very disappointing. What soccer credentials does the SCYSA director of ODP have?

1. For those of you that say SC ODP is in sad shape speak for your own age group. The 96 girls are in good shape.
2. If and i say "IF" there were any girls mauling any boys on the bus do not blame Mary Bynum. Blame the girls parents for not raising them better.
3. I know it is a little early for Mardi Gras, but if and again i say "IF" there were any boys on the bus that was that big of a stud then i would like to know how many beads he came home with from that bus ride.

Now after having a little fun with this i just have this to say,
Maybe there was some flirting going on and it probably scared the teenage boys but i do not think that is why anyone had a bad showing.It seems that there wasnt enough practice/training going on if any. Maybe the thread can get back to that part of the discussion not about the ODP GONE WILD BUS.

One question for the 94 parents.State cup ended Decemeber the 12th or so.That left about 4 weekends for the 94's to train. You have the Disney showcase for some players and others off to visit relatives and so on for the Holidays. When was there going to be a time to train as a team and have everyone or anyone at a training session.

Your ODP experience is going to based on who is your coach and how much of an effort is put forth by the coach and players..That's the bottom line..
Schedule a practice and if six show up..more training for the six that made it..It's still a plus

94 Girls team and alternates have training session on 1/31/10. Is this another tryout? The numbers 12 team 16 alternates makes no sense. Where as the 93 Girls team accepted all 23 players to the team, no alternates! Any ideas?

If you are an alternate every training session is a tryout. If you are named to the team then your tryouts are over. Having 16 alternates is absurd, just as naming 23 to a team is. With recent poor player retention on the girls side it looks like SCYS ODP is trying to keep as many kids around the program for as long as possible. I think this approach will backfire. It doesn't seem to be much of an honor to be on a team that keeps everyone.

I agree that this approach may backfire. They need to pick their team and the appropriate number of alternates and let the remainder move on.

What was the point to tryouts and the weekend in Greenville?
Is anyone surprised by this?
Have we not been around long enough to expect something less than?
The last year of ODP and you have names that have never participated before..Why? Wake up and move on..It's okay to go without soocer for a couple of months or join a winter league..
