It's never been perfect, just a wide net that nabs some really good kid and some head scratchers but just another opportunity among many to get showcased.

Congrats to the kiddos!
I didn't mean errors in terms of selections, I meant errors in terms of which girl plays for which club.
 
My pro/con list for having her attend is heavily skewed toward "no" at the moment. Can anyone share pros? She already has plenty of soccer friends and on a good team with plenty of competitive practices so "bonding" and "competitive play" are not really pros for us. Before DA I know ODP was the primary channel for youth national team pools but doesn't seem like it is anymore with the G2004s and G2005s.

Just looking for honest and useful feedback to consider a bit while making a decision. Maybe the discussion will help others decide too? Thank you!
 
Does it actually matter where you live to be in CalSouth ODP? She’s known to be from Vegas, but can still play for CalSouth? Not being critical, just curious.

I would assume it has more to do with her home club rather than her actual home. Since she is a registered Cal South player I don't think it matters where she actually lives as long as she actually played for the team..which I think she did.
 
Personally I find it sketchy that not one single player made the list from SDSC. Things that make you say hmmmm. No they werent a top 5 team but they made it to the quarter finals and had at least a few that could've made the list. Just my opinion.

Agreed. Happens to a lot of smaller clubs. Sadly another reason why ODP is a political event rather than a sporting one.

My younger 06 didn't get selected, but my older did and is still having a great ODP experience.
Pro's
Gives you DD the opportunity to experience what its like to attend open tryouts and to have to not only perform, but learn how to stand out in a competitive environment.
Adds to your DD"S confidence and self esteem when they are continually chosen through the process.
Great low cost soccer travel experience for your DD.
Free Nike Gear
Con's
ODP Tryouts always conflicts with some regular season club event where you have to choose.
Travel to West Regional for the Girls is covered, parents its not. Cost involved to attend can get high.
Coaches play to Win. your DD may not be happy with the play time she receives.
Your DD may be asked to play position she is not accustomed to.

If you feel your DD is a unicorn and has enough friends and experiences in soccer than Great, don't go and have her try and take another girls spot away.
At the end of the day, don't deny your DD a great experience to learn how to stand out and make an impact when it counts.
My older I would not consider the top player invited, but she worked hard to be consistent and impactful enough every-time she was on the field to make the team and also later the regional tryout. She gained alot from her experiences with ODP.
