Hi,

I wanted to let you know that 7 campers from your June San Francisco camp, 11-13 age group, were part of the undefeated 2008 T-Bird Turkey Bowl Championship. team.  They had a 12 – 0 record with 9 shut outs over the season.  They finished with a shut out over their rival team Clayton Valley who beat them last year in the Turkey Bowl.

My son loves your camp and I know the other T-Birds that joined him this year had the same great experience.   O-D builds players. 

See you in June.

Sal,

Here in about a month I am going to send you our Football Tackle Roster of all divisions. You might want to make sure everyone is on your mailing list.  Only thing our head coach asks is do not sell our names...for your use only.  Plan to show your CD at our banquet on Nov 22nd.  We will try to get a few more players at camp this year.

My son is having a great year, many touchdowns as receiver, picks and tackles as SS on D and even two runbacks on Kick return.  Our Six 7th & 8th grade coaches voted him MVP this year....he does not know it yet:), but will get his trophy at our banquet.  I can say that OD really makes a difference in his play.  Its a great way to get him started each year and he learns a lot at camp....He leads his team as a captain and the younger player in our organization think he is a greek god.  OD has helped make him the player he is today, and taught him how to lead and set examples.

Thanks,

R.K.

To whom it may concern,

My name is D.A.  MY son Darren attended last years camp @ St Marys College.  Our experience at your camp last year has help my child succeed during his football season with the American Canyon Patriots.  He played at the scouts level, ( 7-9yr olds).  He Played quarterback offense scoring 20 Touchdowns, over 30 pass completions, and 4 TD passes.  On defense he played ILB, averaging 13 takles a game.  The team only allowed 6 touchdowns.As a result, I shared with family and friends that Darren attended O-D camp. I truely feel O-D camp gave my son the tools and necessary skills to make this a rewarding season.

Im requesting a group rate code to share with all of my friends and family of the AMERICAN CANYON PATRIOTS and the youth of our community.

We love you guys and have loved your camp for 2 years now. Our kids had the best experiences there. Dr. Toomer taught my 8 yr old boy, Noah well. He has come into his own this year and developed a passion like never before. My older son Justus has become a more well-rounded player and a better kid because of what he has learned at O-D!

And Marty Fine is just the BEST!!! First Class!!

Both boys are playing in the Frisco Football League out here and doing well, but it has been a bit of a strain on us financially with both boys playing football out here in Texas. We just wanted to make sure they didn't miss an entire season. It's the main sport they love and we want to foster it no matter what it takes!! We enjoy watching them too!!!

Please know that we will always hold O-D close to our hearts! God Bless!

Sincerely, S.V

Hey, Mr. Sal

Coach Smith here, I was wondering have you ever considered using the success stories of your campers before they become pro athletes to help in advertisement showing that the camp can have season changing effect on a players young career. I'm asking because Darius Johnson and Diaz Easterling attended your Pensacola Camp this summer and they have lead thier team to a Disctirct Title and into the district championship game.

Sal and/or O-D Staff,

Would you please send me 30 copies of your 2009 Brochure? I will be distributing them to our Lafayette, Indiana All-Star team that is currently preparing for the Broncho All-Star Bowl.  I will need the brochures by next Monday, if at all possible, to get them out before our season ends, but I do believe this would be a great market for O-D.   My Son, Layne, has attended your camps (Indianapolis & Pensacola) for the past two years and is the starting QB for the All-Star team, and I have been asked by countless number of parents how did he get that good, and my response is always “O-D and hard work”!

We just got your e-mail recently...And thought it a good thing to tell you that our son Sean had attended two O_D camps during his teen years. Detroit at 12,and Indianapolis at 14. He got incredible guidance, and the best coaching hands on. The fact that O-D camps were the only one's that offered contact was a big plus for us as he really got allot out them both.
Sean was an all-state pick his senior year, and also selected as one of the Michigan Touchdown club's "GREAT EIGHT AWARD WINNERS"
He committed to the University of Cincinnati in May of his Junior year. he had offers to play in the Big Ten, Big East, as well as the MAC. O-D camps definitely made a difference, and it was the suggestions of several O-D coaches that persuaded him to consider playing on into his college years...For us O-D wasn't only  a solid investment into our son's future; It was a great experience for him!
 Here are 2 pics of Sean. One is him with his high school coaches at the Great8 awards banquet the other is from his senior year.

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we appreciate O-D.  According to Maxpreps, Micheal is ranked #1 in tackles so far this season in Texas and #12 in the country. Micheal has attended OD since he was 10 years old and he's now a Junior at Irving HS.
 
Noted below are the links to Maxpreps.
 
As Micheal gets older, the things he's learned at O-D become more valuable.  He's more aware of the competition and keeps his feet on solid ground because he knows there is always something else he should learn in order to be a better player. 
 
We look forward to seeing you all again next summer as he enters his Senior year.  Please pass on our thanks to the coaches who worked with Mike at Select Camp in Dallas this last summer.

Sal,

I'm M. B.  Brooks and I have been to 5 of your camps over the last 2 years.  We have really enjoyed them and plan to attend this coming summer.  I will be bringing my youngest son (age 7) with us this year to the Atlanta camp.

I coached my youngest son's Jr. Pee Wee team this year and plan to discuss with the parents O-D.  Can you send me some flyers/information that I can use/passout at our team's banquet?

I look forward to seeing you guys again next year.  M.B.

Hey Sal,

My son and I just recently attended your San Francisco camp, and I must say, although this was our first experience at camp, I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and the effort put forth by your staff. It was an honor being a Father-Counselor and I can truly say that this was the best five days of our entire summer! My son truly learned alot about football, and it showed when he started playing this year. So the buzz has been about "this camp" that Puma (my son) attended and more parents are really interested in O-D, and now it looks like we have a group coming from our orginization. So if you could email me back about how group rates work, I would really appreciate it. The only problem is that although we will be together as a group, the parents wanted the autonomy of doing their own payments and being responsible for them. (I'm sure that will be no problem) But hey Sal, I'm looking forward to another fantastic five days of football next summer with O-D and your crew, so keep up the good work!  W.P.

Sal, Thanks so much for all the time that you spent with my son, Mac. He is the leading receiver on his Rec. team and also on his All Star team. He has developed into the “GO TO” Receiver on both teams and has given them a lot more versatility. At CB he has intercepted 2 passes this year and returned one for 46 yards. I give the credit to his improvement to you and your staff.  We will be in Atlanta, GA over the Thanksgiving Holiday to play in the Youth Football National Championship. Mac will definitely be back in Pensacola and I would like to send him to a couple more camps over the summer which locations do you recommend? 

Thanks, D. P. N.

Jen, 

Our experience for both Bennett, Preston and the other 3 players I brought last year was extremely positive.  It was the turning point for the two oldest as they are now both starting as VERY undersized linebackers for the 9th grade squad.  My oldest son's technique and our other lineman that came, are both just knocking it out this season and have gained tremendous confidence.  Likewise my son Preston was the youngest with our group but has gained the most confidence and his progression has shown the most.  As the commercial says "Priceless!"

Sal,

Thanks for the note, My son (Ty)  has been at the camp the last 2 years and we love it. He will most likely do the O-D day camp for 2 weeks this summer.

Thanks again! MP

 YouTube and Offense-Defense:

• I think that is OUTSTANDING that you are doing something for kids who can play but just can't seem to get help from their own coaches or get on the radar at all.
• Coach Massey,  Thanks so much for the opportunity to put my highlights on your website. I know I have what it takes to play college ball but I haven't been recruited yet. Hopefully this will help. Thanks again!
• Thanks for the email and I'm glad you enjoyed the highlight tape. I will have another one ready to go tomorrow. I also checked out the new site on youtube, I LOVE it. I think it is going to be a great way to get exposure. Just goes to show how O-D is a step ahead of the competition.

My son Hunter attended your Chicago camp this year and it is amazing the difference in his confidence and ability this year. I was kind of leary about sending him to your camp but I am sure glad I did because I am sure it is the reason he has become such a force on the field(I have people asking me every week what brought the change in him, and I tell them it was your camp). I just wanted to say thanks and let you know he'll be back, he not only learned alot but he also had a good time.

Sal,

Hello!  Just an "FYI":  I sent 2 of my son's to OD Camp in San Francisco, back in 1998 or 1999 (Can't remember which). Just to let you know, that my younger of the 2 son's is attending The Ohio State University on a full-ride football scholarship! He is a Freshman and actually saw playing time last Saturday against USC. 

Thank you so much!  Ken Norton Jr. was really good with my kids at that camp.

Just a quick note to advise you of our satisfaction with the OD Camp . Jarrett partipated in the Naperville camp this year and walked away with the confidence and skills that i had hoped he would gain. The coaches gave him one on one time and his big surprise was winning the mvp award which really made his confidence soar . He is having a great season with four touchdowns in 4 games and he keeps coming off the field attributing things he did that he had learned at od camp. Keep up the good work .

My husband and I would like to thank you and the OD organization.  Our son John who attended the July 6th camp at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh enjoyed the camp.  This was his first camp ever.  He has been playing football since he was about 9 years old.  His self-esteem sky rocketed after the camp.   Before this camp he had very low self-esteem.  He did not work to his full potential.  He is currently in high school football practices and he remembers so much from the camp and is using those techniques.  The high school coaches and parents have noticed a big change in him, of course for the better.  He practices well above 110%. 

All of this is all thanks to you, the coaches at the Pittsburgh Camp and the OD organization!!!! 

He already signed up for next year's camp and is looking forward the OD Select Camp, which he was one of the players selected.  His younger brother, age 14, who also plays football regrets not going to the Pittsburgh camp.  He is looking forward to signing up in 2008 and is encouraging his friends and teammates of the 9th grade football team to consider signing up.

Again, thank you!!!!

John & Regina

I personally want to Thank You and all of your staff. My son attended the camp in Los Angeles and he had a wonderful time. The coach's were knowledgeable, patient and supportive. He came out of the experience a better player. My son would go to the camp again except he will be too old for next year and he hopes to move on and play in college.

Again please thank everyone involved in the Los Angeles camp on behalf of my son and me.

Thanks for the great experience for my son.  He is only seven and will be starting pop warner tomorrow.  I am anxious to see how this has helped to prepare him for his first full contact season.   

We already signed for next summer in san antonio.

Thanks,  D J

I just wanted to thank you again for all your efforts related to my son, Danny.  He had a great time attending the Atlanta O-D camp in June.  It was his first time at a football camp, and he learned a lot from the staff - the coaches were top notch.  They introduced him to the proper techniques for each position, as well as providing him with feedback on the finer points to work on.  He also enjoyed getting to know the other campers; it helped to have a couple of buddies to talk to while running those drills!

Plus Sal, I want to thank you for all your help retrieving Danny's medical records from your files and faxing them to me so quickly.  It really helped with getting him registered here for his fall youth league.  You found the form so fast I had it in time for the first sign-ups.  I called completely out of the blue, and this was no small task either, with so many forms to look through.  I know you had to search several different ways in the computer system to find him, and I appreciate your taking the time to help me out.  You went out of your way and it meant so much to our family.

The first week of fall practice is just finishing up and my son is doing well - his coaches have complemented him on his work, which makes him feel great.  So I would recommend the O-D camp to anyone looking for a fun way to learn football.  You have the best team of operators - from on the field to in the back office.   The results are easy to see.

My Son, Layne, attended the Pensacola camp and I wanted to extend a big thank you to all staff that made that camp a great success.  The coaching was top notch, and Layne was pushed to a higher level of football that he has never received.  The director, Dave, kept the camp moving and everyone knew what they needed to do and when.

I just wanted to thank all of the coaches and staff for putting on a fantastic camp in Chicago (North Central College - Naperville, IL) on June 22-26.  My son, Erik, learned so much.  The coaches were excellent, well organized, prepared, and informative.  Our son who is only 10 was never bored and there was no down time or time fillers: a.k.a. Sharks and Minnows.  The coaches spent a lot of time instructing my son on the fine art of football.  Everything from his stance, arm positions, blocking techniques, and footwork.  Living in the Chicagoland area we are able to pick from three major football camps (Chicago Bears Camp, US Sports Camp - Contact Football, and O-D Camp.)  We tried the other two camps first because I was not aware of O-D Camp.  Your camp blows the other two out the door.  In the future I will always enroll Erik in O-D Camp.  By far the best Football camp in the Chicagoland area.  Thanks again for putting on such an excellent camp.

We really appreciate all that you have done and will continue to do for my son in the future! His confidence is off the charts and he will be playing for a new organization this year. His attitude and demeanor is very business like! I really did'nt know what to expect but you have exceeded my expectations and you can not quantify the results with a price tag! I can not believe it. Thay are raving about my son and his attitude towards the game!

Thanks a million and we will see you until he graduates from high school!

And Thank You Sal and O-D Sports. This was Anthony's first experience of football camp. He had a blast and got fit all at the same time. My son Anthony and I will plan to return in 2009. Thank you for the opportunity you made available for us.

I would like to write you with the news of Nick L.  He attended the Pensacola camp and loved it.  O-D has given him the confidence he needed to push himself more and help others.  The knowledge that he received was priceless.  He attended the school football camp in the second week of July.  The head coach told us that he could definitely tell that he went to O-D Camp.  He is at the top of his team for knowledge, skill, and the ability to help others.  I cannot thank O-D Camp enough for the discipline, skills, sportsmanship, and drive that they have given my son.  He has met many new boys that he is keeping in touch with.  Nick will definitely be attending next year.   I know the camp was only for a few days, but he came back a new child.  I look forward to helping O-D recruit new members in the years to come.

THANK YOU O-D!!!!

My son, Christian, entered your camp with a dislike of football and football coaches after last season.  Last season ended so bad he was thinking of quitting the sport and trying other team sports.  I decided to send him to your camp because of the reviews I read in your testimonial section of your web site.  It took a lot of convincing of my spouse to spend the money and send my son to your camp but persistence prevailed.  I made a deal with my son that if he still did not like football after this camp I would allow him to find another sport.  Christian traveled from Hawaii to participate in your camp and upon his arrival was surprised to find that this camp was truly about football and not fun and games.  Christian entered the camp in phenomenal shape because of wrestling but found that it still wasn’t enough.  It took him about a day and a half to get used to the running but loved every minute of it.  He hasn’t stopped talking about everything he learned from your staff and how fun they made football again.  He enjoyed rooming at USD and never complained about missing home.  He was surprised on how fast the contact started but thought it was one of the best things about the camp.  He has implemented the techniques he learned at your camp and in one day of practice with his new team impressed his new coaches.  My son is only 12 years old and is shutting down freshmen receivers.  Awesome job O-D and thank for helping my son to love this great sport again.  He will be attending next year.

Thank you and keep up the great work,

Aaron A.

Camp was great. It was a very hard adjustment for him and he called wanting to come home the first day, but once he got to know the boys and got into the rhythm he loved it. Very hard for a boy of 10, but really boosted his self esteem.

At this point, we will try to do it again next year if we can afford it.

Thanks so much for your help

I just want you to know what a GREAT impact you have made on my son. Everyone from checking in, to going to the O-D store to meeting Coach Fonago was such a pleasant experience. I only get one chance at raising my son right and I plan on using every tool I can. O-D camp is one awesome tool and I would highly recommend this camp to anyone. I do know it is expensive but the things presented and taught at your camp are priceless. You all are such an awesome team and I really look forward to sending L. again next year to O-D camp. Thanks for taking the time to make such a great impact on my son. And if along the way you can take a moment and give L. another encouraging word, I know I would appreciate it and I think he would too.

I was on your web site to check things out and wanted to thank you for the offer of sending my son with the group discount program.  I think it is so awesome what your programs offers our youth.  There is no way I can come close to affording this, being a single mother of two, but I just wanted to say thank you.  My son is an avid football fan he is 12 years old and has the NFL network on 24/7 not any cartoons.  Thank you again and I hope you have a great season with the kids.

He got some great news lately as well. He was chosen for VTO Sports "Elite 100" and will be participating in their Division I A scouting match-up as a wide receiver. He has also been training at XXXX Sports with Antico Dalton of the 2002 New England Patriots who is impressed with Joey's footwork, sense of team play and agility.  Joey told him that he credits a lot of what he does to what he learned at your Charlotte camp last year. 

As a parent, I think your program is phenomenal in developing young men into total athletes; young men who are athletic, competitive, team-oriented and have a good sense of fair play. It's worked for Joey and is what I tell everyone with a son coming up who is interested in a worthwhile camp experience.

I'd like to thank your entire organization for the fine camp you conducted in San Franciso recently. My 14 year old son attended and I was able to observe many of the practices. I have a background of playing and coaching football at the high school and college level (more than 30 years) and I observed the following at this camp:

1. The organization was great and the 5 days of practice would seem to convert to a month of practices at the high school level. My son was able to learn skills and techniques that I thought could only be taught at the college level.

2. Not only were football skills and techniques taught, but there were many occasions where coaches were teaching and lecturing about life skills as well. At one practice I overheard one of the coaches lecturing about the importance of doing the right things-- even when you're away from your parents. I know that my son was listening keenly to this coach lecture as he told me several times how much he liked him and what a great man he was.

3. I was extremely impressed with the encouragement given to the kids by the coaches. Never once did I observe any evidence of ridicule or unreasonable expectations.

Lastly, I would like to thank each and every one of the coaches that took the time to coach and encourage my son. I don't know them by name, but there were several that went out of their way to make this a wonderful experience for him.

I would like to thank the entire coaching staff for a great job well done. This past summer my 13 year old son attended the Austin, TX. camp for the first time and had an outstanding week. He learned and conditioned his football skills and most of all made him a stronger leader for his new football team. He now plays starting quarterback and defensive linebacker for his new team and enjoys playing both position.

As a parent, I want to thank the organization for the scholarship that he received and will definitly see you guys next summer.
