The girls ODP 92 are having practices twice a month varying locations from Columbia fields to university/college fields such as SC State and Wofford. Not as many girls came out for ODP this year in the 92 age group for I'm guessing various issues one of which is cost/value. It appears the ones who aren't doing it will be missing a great opportunity. With two 2-3 hour practices a month, the money for just the training will be well invested. For those jr. girls that have already committed to schools, they get top notch college soccer training. This is a whole different level than what they'll likely receive at their respective high school even with the best of high school coaches. For those that are still Sophomores, they get numerous college coaches exposure and a taste of "college" soccer training. Girls coming off of club season thinking they are in decent shape are quickly seeing there is much more work to be done. "In shape" even at the premier club level does not appear to be the same as an average college player judging from the 92 practices to date. Also, as I believe was mentioned before almost all of the athletic questionaires for D1 colleges ask about ODP experience as well as a lot of the girl's college coaches bios have involvement with the ODP program in it. So here is a vote for its worth the money and will bring a lot more advantages to the player than a couple college camps.
