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!
