There's an interesting mention of ODP in this article (an interview with Jerry Smith).

It's about 3/5 of the way into the article. If you search on "Olympic Development Program" on that page, you'll find the mention quickly. It's just in that one paragraph. The article was published yesterday, so it's up-to-date news.

very good article.  Last year at the Idaho camp he made it clear to the players and coaches that he was going to make a lot of changes.

Anyone have any predictions?



I'm predicting a very cold weekend.  I think highs will be in the low 40's in Las Vegas.  I will be there so maybe I will send an update or two.



I'm also predicting the 97 team making it to the championship game.  Hopefully I'm not going to jinx them, but IMO they are strongest 97 Cal North team in the four years of ODP.

Just curious.  
One thing that ODP needs to work on is making their events affordable to everyone.  


CYSA District 2 is paying 100% of the expenses for all CYSA District 2 players attending the ODP Championships.  District 2 recently put in place this ODP scholarship program to cover the cost of state and regional events for all CYSA District 2 players.  ODP is a great program - and no cost to CYSA District 2 players.


That's great that they can offer it free of cost. I got the 411 on how they are able to do it, and also found out that our district(6) didn't want to implement the same program because their main concern are the rec players and keeping cost as low as possible to them.  I'm also a little disappointed that the cost for this tournament went from $950 last year to $1175 this year.  The cost for the ODP National Camp, which is also later this month went up as well. That's around $2000 in one month for those "lucky" parents.

Thank you and good luck to your dd and the 00s.  Sucks that they have to open the tournament vs Cal South.  I can't remember the last time (or any time) we kept it within 3 goals vs the 97 Cal South.

That's unfortunate.  Offering the program free of charge would be huge.  I can't figure where the $1175 per player expense comes from unless part of it goes toward subsidizing the coaches’ expenses.  Even then, it seems extreme.

OO Cal North results

Lost to Cal South 2-0.  1-0 for most of the game then a very late fluke goal.  

Tied Nevada 0-0.  Lots of shot for Cal North but none went in.

Hopefully, each individual had a positive experience.  Collectively, from a W-L-D perspective, the teams' performances appear to be about average for the event:

97G: 0-1-2
98G: 1-0-2
99G: 1-1-1
00G: 0-2-1

Girls had a great time in Vegas.  The play on the field was much better than the score indicated.  We would do it again if selected.
