2013 O-D Camp Preview!

Right now everyone here at O-D is busy fine-tuning the nuts and bolts of the upcoming All-American Bowl Week. That being said, we've also spent some time with our coaches going over the 2012 Camps and how we can improve and progress on our already top-notch camp experience. The new stuff you can expect to see at camp in 2013 include:
  • Expanded video instruction: Our on-field video review kicked off with a bang in 2012 and it will return for 2013 in an expanded role. Better angles, more analysis...you name it, we're improving it!
  •  
  • One dedicated position per player: Past years we've had our athletes select an offensive and defensive position to receive split instruction at during camp. In 2013, our campers will be selecting a single position to receive exclusive training in. The benefits of this change are multifaceted - athletes will enjoy better matchups at camp, we'll be able to hire more positionally-focused coaches, and in an increasingly specialized game, athletes will be getting TWICE as much instruction at their best position.
  • Better and more focused evaluations: Our end-of-camp evaluations have always been important instructional tools for our campers. Now, they're growing into something even better - Youth athletes will be getting evaluations better-geared for their age group, telling them what they specifically need to improve as they begin entering the high school tier of play and high school-aged players will receive awesome tips and pointers to specifically prepare them for the collegiate game.
  •  
  • Limited spots at camp: That's right! Much like how the limited slots available for our Bowl Game increases quality of play and coaching, so too does limited space work at our camps. Better scrimmages, practice matchups, player-to-coach ratios, end-of-camp bowl games...the fact is, the quality of the camp takes a huge leap when we enforce limits on camp size. Another bonus? This element makes it way easier for our coaches to analyze and scout athletes for possible All-American Bowl inclusion. Win-win!
 
The road to being an All-American
 
Football Academy (footballacademy.com) - O-D has approximately 30 Football Academy events scheduled throughout the winter and spring all across the country! The Academy is a 3-day non-contact camp for athletes in grades 6 through 12, split into two divisions (6th-8th grade, 9th-12th). Athletes will participates in combines, 7-on-7s film review, and both on-and-off the field instruction designed to improve athletes ability to impress and test well in combine-style events.

The Elite Camps are the final chance both for athletes to step up their game both before their own season starts and to be seen and selected for the O-D All-American Bowl!

2012 Summer Camp Season Highlights

As our 2012 camp season comes to an end we want to thank all the wonderful campers and families we had a chance to see again this year or meet for the first time. Operating our award-winning football camps is only one part of a successful equation – the second, and most important, is the continued support from you, the many members of the extended O-D Family!

From the introduction of our PVP platform, assuring the maximum visibility of young football players to the colleges hungry for new talent, to the incorporation of our cutting edge on-field, Video Instruction program that saw countless camp participants receive unprecedented levels of immediate visual feedback, there were a ton of memories and developments at camp that prove O-D is and will continue to be the premier instructional football camp in the country!

There was the unexpected and unscheduled appearance of Thomas Williams from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at our San Diego camp – Thomas was so excited to see a full-contact camp going on that he got on the field to talk to campers and be a part of the experience. In Baltimore, Bernard Pollard of the Ravens stayed on the field long beyond his contracted appearance, not only taking photos with campers but really coming into his own as a guest instructor and cementing himself as an O-D camper favorite in 2012! The award ceremony at the Dallas camp was simply amazing! The camper and family response was overwhelming and created lasting memories with our staff that will last a lifetime.

We hope everyone enjoyed the 2012 camp season as much as we did! We're looking forward to creating and experiencing many more with each and every one of you. Thank you again...bring on 2013!

Former O-D Camper Selected in Third Round

Former Offense-Defense camper Jayron Hosley was selected in the 2012 NFL Draft by the defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

Hosley was taken with the 94th overall pick in the 3rd round of the 2012 NFL Draft after a brilliant career that was sparked at Offense-Defense Football Camps. He entered the NFL Draft as a junior after earning second-team All-ACC honors last season finishing with 59 tackles, three interceptions, and 12 pass breakups. Coming out of high school Hosley was highly coveted and ranked as the No. 22 cornerback in the nation by ESPN.com as a four-star recruit.

"We are always proud to see former campers go on to the NFL, "said Offense-Defense President Rick Whittier, "I remember him at our camps and you could see then that he was a good athlete who had a chance to be a very good player at the next level."

The players were ranked by NFL.com Senior Writer Gil Brandt, a former Cowboys Personnel Director, NFL.com Draft Analyst Mike Mayock, and Packers legendary beat writer Bob McGinn.

Last year O-D had the No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton and this year the organization expects 20-25 players to be selected in the NFL Draft.

McGinn and Mayock both rated Stanford guard David DeCastro as the No. 1 guard in this draft while Brandt rates him 17th overall and Mayock lists him 24th overall, respectively.

Other alumni rated high by respected gurus include Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles who is rated 99th by Brandt, 97th by Mayock and a top 100 pick by McGinn. McGinn rates him 15th among his position.

Others that McGinn has rated among receiver include California's Marv Jones at 13 and Wisconsin's Nick Toon as 14th, and Texas A&M's Jeff Fuller at No. 25.

Toon is rated in the top 100 by McGinn while Jones is rated 89th by Mayock and a top 100 pick by McGinn.

Two defenders round out those listed as top four round selections as Arizona State cornerback Omar Bolden is rated 115 overall by Brandt while he lists California defensive end Trevor Guyton 116th overall.

Spikes, is coming off a year where he picked up a sack, an interception, forced three fumbles, and made and assisted on over 100 tackles at linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. Cromartie did a little bit of everything, nabbing 4 interceptions, forcing a fumble, having a hand in over 40 tackles, and returning over 400 yards worth of kickoffs for the New York Jets at Cornerback.

Smith won a Superbowl with the Giants in his rookie year and spent last season in a part-time role with the Eagles where he still managed to find the endzone. He is now playing for the St. Louis Rams. Hartline is a young and talented wide receiver with the Miami Dolphins who snagged 35 receptions for 549 yards and a touchdown last year.

O-D Bowl becoming preeminent high school bowl game

While the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been around longer than any other game joining Under Armour to be considered the best games, primarily due to the marketing machine created by those running them, they have officially taken a backseat to the Offense-Defense Bowl in putting players in the National Football League.
