from a friend in Concord

89s beat Bama 2-0
90s team 1 lost 2-1 Tn
90s team 2 tied 0-0 Bama
And I thik he said the 93s beat WV (don't remember the score)

91's won both of their games 5-0 against WVA and Al.

One of the 90's teams won 2-1 and 5/6-0. The other 90's team lost 2-1 and tied. I know that the players are being moved between teams a little bit in this age group.

93's - beat nc1 - 1-0

lost to Nc2 - 2-1

Actually, the 93's beat WV 1-0 and lost to NC 2-1

Both 92 boys teams lost their second game

3-1
3-0

I have seen alot of u13 soccer this year and was disappointed with the level of play I saw in the ODP games today. I felt that both the SC and WV teams would have been beaten by any number of premier level teams. I thought ODP was supposed to be a level on par or above Premier. There are some quality players out there, but the team play was dismal.

Soccaho-

Exactly, you saw some quality players.

ODP isn't about team play. The objective of ODP is to find the best talent at the different age groups.

Obviously many of you are knowleadgeable about ODP. I am not. Can you all explain the value, or lack thereof, of ODP. I've sure heard a lot of negatives: cost, cursory tryouts, not about team play. But obviously there must be an upside. I would like to know the pros and cons.

Sweet Feet,

If that is the case, the other states seemed to have more quality players (individual talent).

I just assumed they went hand in hand....

Quality players=quality team.

Thanks for your input.
