Football Camp Testimonials
What people say?
Hi, my name is Ashley! My 9 year old son recently attended your summer camp in Golden, CO. This was his first time attending an O-D football camp. Although we attended a bowl game in February we were definitely unsure on what to expect from your summer camps. To say this camp was AMAZING would be an understatement. Everything about your staff and the experience was far more than what we could have asked for. From the start, Michelle was AMAZING. She was kind and informative. She was attentive to not only the players every need- but the parents as well. The coaching staff was great, experienced, awesome with the kids and ran a tight ship! They made it clear they were there with a purpose to make them better players and better young men. They excelled at showing them what it takes to succeed- from the beginning to the end....how to stretch correctly, the importance of stretching being crucial to not only your athletic ability but to your health...how to work as a team, communicate, and work hard. He learned a lot of new techniques and drills that he will take with him into the next season of football. The coaches really cared about the kids and you could tell they really wanted them all to succeed. I honestly can't say enough good things about your staff and the experience you have provided for my son. This camp is just a tiny part of his journey with his football career but we walked away knowing it is going to play a huge part in the rest of his life as something he will remember and something that made him a better player and teammate! Thank you!
Just wanted to let you guys know you have a Great organization! My son played on the usc4 team and he really enjoyed his experience. We play with other camps also but he said this is the best by far. From keeping everyone updated to little as uniform exchanges it was well ran!
We definitely plan on coming back and possibly skipping the other camps. Thanks again O-D
Just wanted to thank you with all your help and such an amazing opportunity for Alex!! You guys worked very hard to make all this happen through such a unique situation!! Your team is very much appreciated for all the time and hard work you all put in!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you very much. My son had a great time and an amazing experience this entire time. He made some new friends and saw some old O-D family. Can't wait till the summer camps. Thanks for the life time of memories for my boy.
Because of O-D football, Fabian absolutely dominated in his Junior Varsity high school season, not only on defense but also at the running back position of all things, to help his team 3peat, culminating in a 5 touchdown 348 yard performance in his Regional Championship and a 3 touchdown, 203 yard performance in the Central Bowl victory the following week.”
“He is absolutely loving it. He has learned a lot. He really enjoyed meeting the NFL pro’s and all the coaches for the week. He was thrilled to see Ray Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens (that’s his and dad’s fav team). It has been a great experience for him and his football goals. He wants to come back next year as an overnight camper and I have been really impressed with the program. I’m sure TJ will become a regular at the Raleigh, NC camp if you continue to bring it to us!! Thanks so much for the wonderful experience.
“We would like to first thank you for giving our son Elijah the opportunity to play in the Youth O-D BOWL. At this years Atlanta camp Elijah trained with the Senior campers because he was entering the 9th grade and wanted to get challenged and prepared for JV try outs. I’m not sure how that affect his status or the age requirement for the youth bowl. We also want to give thanks to OFFENSE DEFENSE for several years of great football training for our son. Elijah has accomplished great things with the help of OFFENSE DEFENSE.
Elijah is 13 and will be 14 years of age in November. This school year he entered the 9th grade. We expected Elijah to go out for the JV football team and due to all his hard work and training from O-D he ended up making the Varsity team as a 9th grader. Elijah is now playing RB AND DB. He is getting a significant amount of playing time on both sides of the ball and special teams. The first game of the season he scored his first Varsity touch down!!! Elijah received his first start last Friday night at the defensive back position and did very well. Again we just want to thank O-D for years of great training…”
We often recommend O-D Football camp to all of my friends with kids involved in football. Keep up the good job!”
Lastly, I would like to send a warm Thank You to Milow, this man is one of the nicest and caring individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. This gentleman from Day 1 was there for the kids and keeping them going. He truly is a great mentor. My son still talks about him daily.
I want to acknowledge some outstanding employee I seen this year. First of all, there was a trainer there name Trisha. I noticed day one that she worked her “tail off”. The temperature was in the high nineties and kids dehydrated very early in the camp. She treated every kid with a personal touch. Late in the evening of day two, Taji twisted a knee during the Oklahoma drill. She quickly assisted him, checked the knee and immediately iced the knee. Her tent was full of injured kids when Taji showed up. Still, she attended to his need very promptly. All week the trainer at this camp showed patience and knowledge. She did outstanding job.
“I just can’t thank you and your O-D staff and coaches enough for helping my son, Fabian, develop into a fine football player. His fundamentals on both sides of the ball are a noticeable step ahead of his competitors thanks to you folks.
The Camp not only vastly improved his football skills for this upcoming season but, for sure, the positive reinforcement and social experiences he had are immeasurable. See you next year!!”
I just wanted to reach out to O-D, My son and I went to many OD camps throughout his football career , Zachary has probably went to six or seven camps and participated in the All American bowls five times I believe , I was a pop warner football coach and would bring 10-30 kids every summer (O-D Dad and I coached at the All American Bowl) from our program to join the O-D family, Zachary is now starting his Redshirt senior year at UTEP as starting Tight end #87 which is what he trained for all the years at O-D. What he experienced and learned from the camp year after year has been one reason why he has done so well at the collegiate level. I just wanted to thank O-D for all their hard work year after year putting on the Camps and offering a great experience for young football players.
Hello, I just wanted to let you know about one of your former players. My son CJ attended most of your camps and 2 All American Bowl games between 2018-2019. You ranked him the number 1 Running back and he also got offensive player of the game at the Daytona Beach Bowl. Well than Covid hit which messed everything up, and in his senior year 2021 in a amended schedule that parents couldn’t even attend he tore his mcl and partially tore acl. That ended the possibility of a scholarship right outta Highschool. But within 6months of surgery CJ completely recovered and was running spring track, and helped the team to get to states in the 4x100! So we made the decision to take a year off and let the knee fully recover before he puts the pads on again. After a year off we decided Marshall University was the best path for him to make the league. So CJ successfully walked onto the team in January and just received his jersey #29! Hoping to get his scholarship next year. CJ has combine numbers already…benching 395, squat he’s doing 2 reps of 515, with a 4.45sec 40. I want to thank you guys and the program for the experience and getting us ready for the next level. So keep your eye out for the Thundering Herd and CJ!! Thank you again for the great experiences and wonder memories we have.
Thanks O-D for another great bowl week experience!
Just would like to say thank you for the great week in Texas. Tristan had a blast and has memories of a lifetime.I also want to mention that both Tristan and myself thought his coach was the best coach he has had at any clinic, camp or bowl game he has attended. He had coach Jordan Brown, he was the best. Hope my son has a chance to work with him again in the future.
Thank you,
“I’ve been bringing my kids to O-D football for a long time. I started attending camp with my oldest son Najja Johnson. Najja is now 21 years of age and play division 1 football at University of Buffalo. He enjoyed his O-D experience every year. I now have a ten year old son, Taji Johnson. Taji started O-D experience at seven years old. Taji attended Rochester, Charlotte, Orlando and this year Raleigh camp. We live in Atlanta GA. but I allow him to pick the city he wants to attend every year. Our experience at Raleigh was tremendous. He really enjoyed the camp. We will be signing up for the roll over program looking forward to next year.
“Any camp, any drill, any rep that helps a player become a better player is beneficial, if he uses it. You can find faults in any camp but O-D focus on them ahead of time, therefore there are few. Use what you learned, apply it in season, make big plays, and keep working each day to be a better player, teammate and person.”
“We wanted to personally (via email) thank you for the outstanding job that your staff at O-D camp is doing with the players. Our son is currently attending the Lawrenceville camp and is having the best time! Our son has attended the O-D camps for the past four years at both the Long Island and New Jersey locations. Each year the staff is consistently pleasant and welcoming to the parents. Each year he has received the best training and has improved in his skills and confidence level. Not only has he become a better player, his knowledge of the game has increased. The best part for our son is also the opportunity to meet players, coaches and professional athletes from across the country. The best part for my wife and I, especially my wife, is knowing that he is in good hands and safe at all times.
“Good Morning, I just wanted to send an email Thank You to O-D for a great camp at New England this year. The Gillette Stadium experience was amazing. Although the weather was a drag, staff from O-D made the best of it. I understand you guys don’t control the weather or the Patriots staff from doing construction. Once again Thanks for a great experience for my son.
“Our 8 year old son, Matthew S., just finished up at the Long Island Camp (at St. John’s) and all we can say is “WOW!” You guys really know what you are doing when it comes to football and, more importantly, you understand how to deal with the whole child. Matthew loves football but has traits of autism/Asperger’s so we were a little apprehensive about sending him to such an intensive football camp. We signed him up as a Day Camper, but, halfway through the first day, we realized how open and sensitive the senior management (Coach Fine and extended day Coach Lanny), the field coaches (special thanks to Coach Flo and Coach Toomer) and counselors (too many to name) were to a child with these issues so we immediately signed him up for the extended day program. This was the best decision we made. Coach Flo was generous in spirit and very accommodating, and Matthew thrived with the added attention. Matthew was on Coach Toomer’s team and Coach Toomer continued to encourage him, and to bring out the best in him.
Coach Ronnie Mason and Coach TC, youth 7 to 10 years olds also did a great job. Both coaches showed patience needed to work with young players. They were fair and gave each kids a chance to perform.”
