ODP is a hustle. You don't make the U.S national team from ODP. When you make it to ECNL which is the top level for girls soccer right now, you don't get scouted for ODP anymore, you only can get scouted by the U.S national team. The scouts either come to the big tournaments or the coach recommends the player. You can still get a full ride without National team recognition but it makes it much easier. Plus the D1 schools love to fill their rosters with National team players and they usually get that money first. Womens soccer is not a real big money maker for schools so the budget for scholarships is limited. Now that they have made a bunch of changes to club soccer and with more to come, high school soccer is not going to be an option to get recruited. Next year they start Developmental Academy for girls and they will not be allowed to play high school because its a 10 month schedule and a minimum of 4 practices a week. If my daughter makes the DA team next year this will be her only year of playing high school.
