About
Offense-Defense Football Camps offers instructional football camps that include games during each session, with up to three games a day in the summer when rules allow. Camp activities include Standard Athletic Testing (S.A.T.), football showcases, player development clinics, and opportunities connected to the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl Week, awards dinners, press conferences, the ODFL National tournament, Youth All-American Bowl Games, a youth football convention, and a coaches clinic.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
Offense-Defense Football Camps uses NFL players and coaches, along with college coaches, as part of its coaching staff. The program uses a progressive curriculum developed by NFL and college coaching staff, with both non-contact and full-contact options and commuter and overnight formats. Players receive professional and quality instruction for beginners and advanced instruction for skilled players, with a focus on teaching technique rather than tactics, as well as stamina, speed, and agility. Standard Athletic Testing (S.A.T.) evaluates measurable performance, and coaches rank and evaluate abilities using a star system, with athletes ranked by position and age group locally and nationally. Each player is evaluated by coaching staff and dedicated regional scouts using a modified pro-style system, and campers receive free online access to a personal Placement, Recruiting, and Exposure (PREview) profile.
Offense-Defense football camps are used to evaluate top high school athletes for inclusion in the week-long Offense-Defense All-American Bowl Week, where 80 of the top high school athletes across the country are invited to play. Athletes who have participated in the Bowl include Cam Newton, Dez Bryant, Joe Haden, Rolando McClain, Earl Thomas, Golden Tate, and Carlos Dunlap, and Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson were MVPs of the O-D All-American Bowl. Offense-Defense reports that over 600 alumni from its camps and Bowl have gone on to the NFL, that 28 of 32 NFL teams have active O-D alumni, that there are hundreds of former O-D campers in the NFL, and that O-D has the largest number of FBS Division 1 signees. The program states that it has been helping youth and high school athletes for over five decades, starting from one instructional football camp in the summer of 1969 and describing itself as “The Proven Path to Football Greatness” and “Shaping the Future of Football for Over 50 Years.”
The organization reports that it spoke with every pro team’s PR or Community Relations department and discovered that there are hundreds of former O-D campers in the NFL. It also states that the love of Jesus compels it to serve others, that it believes everyone has been created on purpose and for a purpose, and that when participants compete according to the word of God, by the power of God, and for the glory of God, they can close the gap between performance and potential.
