Must be tournament or ODP weekend!

.

Why ODP keep on bringing teams to AL? there is no competition out there.
How many teams are going?

Half the pool of 94's, not going. Many girls not going due to club team tournaments or other reasons. I agree competition has been weak the past few years there - don't know about 95's

That's the last I heard. Small numbers in both age groups.

Here is information about the ODP event. It's being played on the Decatur complex which I think is the best in the Southeast. I know it's not a good enough event for us, even though it's good enough for many colleges and other ODP teams including team a youth team from Mexico. I'm waiting for something that's worthy of my team playing.Just because there are 60 college signed up to look at potential college players none are worthy. Were so good that I am thinking of charging these event a participation fee because I don't see how they can go on with out us.
