The original founder of ODP started ODP because he was tasked to find the 20 best 14-year-olds in Americal for the first ever U15 USA Women's Soccer Team. First off, it's impossible to do that with size of a country like ours. Secondly, no coach has the time to scout all those players and pick the best of the best. Lastly and thirdly, girls under 18 haven't fully developed physically and what a girl looks like at 13 and 18 are two different girls physically. In my humble and honest opinion, California should have its own youth team. I would just call it the California State Team (CST). The rest of the States can combo up. In fact, the East Coast could have a team. To close with my opinion only (moo), I think we have a big Kickback business going on still in youth soccer. I saw it up close and personal in 2017. Bad, cheating and lying Docs who bang their way to the top and look for those willing to pay to play. The Doc had control for the first time ever and Mr. Doc got what he wanted. Good luck everyone.
