Chico: "The organization is incredibly dependent upon registration, ODP, and (to a lesser degree) tournament revenue. Anything that threatens the number of players, the participation in ODP, or SCYSA-registered tournaments must be frightening."
By my reading, the organization is not the least bit dependent on ODP. In all 3 years shown, the ODP program ran at a deficit. Of course, what that means to the overall program depends on how some overhead costs are allocated. Still, it looks as if you could kill the ODP program and the SCYSA budget would be better off. Not advocating that, you understand.
It looks as if at the state level, as at most clubs, the elite player is subsidized by the rec player.
