here is how i see odp region camp works through the 4 years that my daughter has played. once sc teams get to alabama they are trained by someone other than their sc coach for the camp. this could be a college coach from any of the 11 region states. it is up to the player to standout in games and especially the training sessions. the training session is their chance to standout as an individual and make an impression on their trainer who may report to the region staff who they think would be a candidate for holdover. if a player is then chosen for a pool game or during one of their state games, they must have an impact on the game. it is not a 20 min game. it is working as hard as you can, 24-7 the whole camp. you never know who is watching. odp is a "catch 22." you play as a team but you have to standout as an individual. bottom line is this: anyone can stand on the sideline and watch a game. it is up to the players to perform to a higher level at odp than what they may be accustomed to.
