For those of us not that familiar with the costs/commitment to participate in ODP, could others share this information? When I've inquired about ODP, I've heard great things on a regional and national level, but within the state of SC, I haven't heard many good things that seem to warrant the time and expense required to participate. Some coaches love it, others do not.........and this is coaches within the same club.
As for the comment that if you have a child who plays competitive club soccer, then they can afford ODP, I beg to differ..........as a family, we sacrifice every season to pay the costs involved with training/tournaments/travel, but do so with no reservation because of how committed our child is to the sport and truly loves the game.
Are there other states who help subsidize ODP costs Papa Hatfield, or is this your brainstorm?
