- Thread starter Larzby

AYSO kids invited? Are you sure about that? The invitation list on their website states what club the kids are from. Just wondering...

Funny, my daughter was fortunate enough to make the team after 100+ kids tried out. Out of the 18 kids on the team, 17 were ecnl players, not a single one from AYSO. The kids at the tryouts were a mix of ecnl and socal soccer kids. So I don't know where you get your info from

Goto the web site. Boys and Girls. Start at the bottom where the new player pool is. Lots of ayso united.
@Soccer 101 what age group is your daughter? They had to find 100 kids to try out from some where. Let's see 100 x $125 registration = $12500.00. That's not a bad take for one age group. Don't forget $250 discount for the camp if you make the cut. That a another $6300.00 from those 18 kids.
My son went. He had a great time but camp and programs not anything to write home about since anyone can sign up to go. Coachings sub par at best.One in SB is a much better option with better competition for boys and especially the girls side.
ODP+ gets parents frothing from the mouth since they use the word Olympic. They boast about players success from the past when cal south was still strong while nose diving into your check book.
ODP was King of all invites for anything Socal soccer. I was not frothing from the mouth. I was actually beaming with dad pride when she made it to the last day. She was cut I bet because she went to Cal Surf...lol. If your dd made it to the Van and AZ ODP 7 years ago or this year, its accomplisetment and go kick ass for SoCal.

U14 age group. She went to Arizona and had a great time. Played with kids she normally goes up against in league and became friends with them. Overall great experience. Do I think ODP is the end all for any sort of national team or colleges, no. Do I think its a an accomplishment and another avenue other than your club team, absolutely.
If you wanted any sniff or chance for a YNT call up in the old days Soccer 101, you best better be on ODP Region IV Van ride and make the all-stars of the stars of all the best of the best at ODP finals. If you make that list and produces, you got the call up. Other parents and clubs were pissed off because many were left out. This was pre Girls Development Academy. Chalklines is right about some parents frothing at mouth with jealousy and envy, all in one. My kid missed the last cut because she chose the GDA and Surf over Cal South......lol......jk. I was there at the last day and if the scouts were picking based just on that day, I see why maybe others were picked over her. She missed her shots bro. Hit two cross bars and the other top players made their shots and made the Van. It was worth the $100. One of her best coaches said that when your playing in real competition, you be lucky to get more than one open look against top competition. The other shots you need some luck, you need to make the right moves on the defenders and help from teammates.
By the way, pretty sure the topic was about the summer camp since they mentioned Ojai, not the ODP team, which is in Salt Lake City in July for the West Region ID camp. The Ojai camp is a Cal-South PRO+ ODP summer camp that anyone can go to this year. They have also added one day camps. This is not the camp to make the ODP team, which is nomination only.
Second, nice going to the parents that ripped on a kid from a United Club, or any other club for that matter. There are many kids out there playing at other levels then ECNL that are better than many of those ECNL kids. How about we give them some credit for working hard, going through the process, and making it to Utah this year if they choose to go.
Third, anyone that says it is only open to Cal South players is flat out lying. The U17 girls group is made up of 3/4 ECNL girls. Other age groups had just as many or more ECNL players.
Fourth, ODP is still big in many other states, but isn't what it used to be here in California with the addition of US Club Soccer PDP and id2 program.

I think there's some confusion here since there are different Cal South ODP camps. There are ODP PRO+ residential camps 6/29 - 7/3 ($700) and position camps 7/8 - 7/11 ($600) that is open to anybody that wants to go - https://www.odpcamps.com/. And then there's the ODP Elite Player Development Camp 7/11 - 7/14 (boys) and 7/14 - 7/17 (girls - $350) that the pool players have been trying out for one of 18 spots. All camps are at Ojai.
Exactly! Same for my son. AYSO? LOL! ECNL, gold and a couple silver elite players. My son is going to the Elite player development camp. It’s only 20 spots, invitation only. If you feel your child will benefit from ODP, do it. No need to trash ODP

There are two Ojai camps this year. One is open to anyone and the other is invite only July 14-17. Haven’t seen that one listed anywhere, just know cause DD got the invite.
