Having said that, I will agree that my daughter very much likes the dorm-style setting where the players and coaches are isolated from the parents.
I think that is a huge part of the ODP experience. My son loved the bus ride, spending time and getting to know players from other clubs (who he continues to keep in contact with year round). Not to mention it is what the coaches are looking for - get the players away from family and let them focus on soccer - not where mom & dad want to eat supper after the games.
As far as the post trying to reduce fees for club soccer - It may be difficult with all the costs clubs have plus the July - Nov. or Dec. committment from the coaches.

im willing to bet that kids in texas pay alot more than we do if you are in one of the big texas clubs and play odp there.seems they are getting the good players.i guess all the money they are making from oil these days it is off setting the cost.maybe we can use lottery money to cover the cost to play soccer.

Leave that lottery money alone! None of us are convinced yet that all this money we are plowing into club soccer is going to cover our daughters college expenses!!! 
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Might need a boiling pot come next Saturday in Winston Salem. The 10 day forecast on Weather.com shows a low of 40 and a high of 49 with a 60% chance of rain.

Does not have to work that way, just the other way... Kind of my whole point.
