ODP Emails are out for those still interested :-)

What do you mean?
Know a lot of clubs coaches and they were not aware of selections or input

Agreed, this is my experience also, though been out of club for the past year so it may have changed. There is apparently a form to email recs but never heard of a coach doing that or it working versus the scouting done by Cal south ODP at Nationals,State. Im sure there's some "buddy" picks going on between coaches and scouts but there is still no question the young ladies listed deserve the recognition and should take pride in it.

Are the 8 girls from Legends and 7 from SD surf and So Cal acad all from the same team? Great accomplishment if so. Just not sure that number includes the other Legends, Surf or SCA teams too. Same question for all the top selected teams - are they listed by club or team? names are not clear for all of them.

The SCA girls are all from the same team (Hazell). Proud of my girls!! Congrats to all the selections from across all clubs.

Hope you and your DD are well Futboldad1

Coaches can and do make suggestions to ODP scouts on who to look at. It is hard to scout 30+ players at one game. It helps to get an idea of who to look at it. I am sure ODP picks players that are not on those lists and they should.
 
Legends girls are from at least 2 maybe 3 different teams, Legends pre academy, Legends south? and legends riverside.

I know of girls from Legends Pre Academy, Legends Riverside, Legends South and Legends Corona.

I'm not certain DA teams push the ODP agenda very hard as they want there girls to play DA next year like they do at 06.
 
Odp already knows the final team. That is why they moved the dates to help out girls that were at the DA showcase even though they say no DA players allowed. Just more politics and looking out for their favorites. Waste of time for others to think they have a chance.

I did find it funny that several clubs were promoting their 05 players inclusion for ODP and wishing them the best of luck for this weekend on social media, when a majority of those girls will be DA next season, if they weren't so already.

No harm in going if they are going to be DA next season. But I don't understand your comment. If they were at the DA showcase last week, the the assumption is that they were playing up on a 04 DA team which makes them ineligible to even try out for ODP. So why would they have to change the date for ineligible players? What am I missing?

You are missing the point that right now they are listed as DPs on the 04 team thus enabling them to participate at the showcase and will likely be 05 Academy players once the season starts if not 04 Academy players prior to the end of the season. Plus ODP isn’t checking statuses as several players wouldn’t have been on the 05 invite list to begin with.

Ok DP players, that makes sense. Looking at the game sheets Blues had 5 2005 DP players attend the showcase, Eagles had 2 and Pats 1.

As for checking the status, they have a history of automatically inviting players that attended the last round.
 
And today even more of a drop off in numbers. Particularly three of the players who made final team last year. They were no shows today.
