About O-D Football Camps


You have come across the website of the largest full-contact youth football camps in the country. We have been America's Favorite Summer Football Camp for the last 41 years, so we know how to train the best and prepare the youth football population for life. Offense-Defense Football Camps is committed to providing youth football players with the ultimate instructional football camp in the country.

We are continually striving to meet and exceed the expectations of all campers by utilizing the 4 C's of football: Coaching, Curriculum, Contact, and Commitment.

In addition to the fundamentally sound football instruction campers receive at Offense-Defense, the camp provides campers with skills needed to succeed in life. Offense-Defense provides an environment that fosters such skills as teamwork, discipline, responsibility, respect, family values, and, of course, hard work.

The fundamental goal of Offense-Defense is to create new standards and to lead the youth football market with a camp that benefits players, teams, and leagues directly.

O-D Staff


All hired staff (coaches, trainers, counselors, and administration staff) must apply for the position desired. All applicants are required to submit at least three (3) references with their application. All applications and references are reviewed along with a background check for all counselors. Prior to the first day of camp, all camp staff are required to attend a full orientation with the Offense-Defense staff.

Providing a safe and positive learning environment is the foundation for Offense-Defense Academy. A staff member can and will be dismissed if their character is shown to be at odds with the philosophy of Offense-Defense.

Methodology


Coaching: Your player will train with highly skilled NFL players and coaches as well as elite college coaches from around the nation. Every coach is well trained in the O-D method of progressive contact and know what it takes to get the most out of every player in a safe and motivating environment.

Curriculum: Your child will be assessed at the first practice session and be grouped with players who are the same age, size and experience level. Each player will participate in offensive instruction in the morning, defensive intruction in the afternoon, and scrimmage in the evening. Our coaches will evaluate each child as they progress throughout the week and you will be given a written report of their achievement at the ending superbowl on Thursday.

Contact: You cannot truly teach the game of football without teaching players how to take and give a hit properly. Offense-Defense's progressive contact instruction allows players the opportunity to learn real game play in a safe environment and is the ideal way to get in condition for pre-season football or to learn the game for the first time.

Commitment: Offense-Defense is commited to providing the best football instuction for every player and the most efficent customer service experience for the parent. You are always welcome to contact the office with any questions you have during 8am-5pm EST. But we understand for many parents this may be difficult, so this year we have established a new account manager program. Upon registration, you can login and make payments online, retrieve necessary paperwork for camp and get up to date location information.

Coaching


At Offense-Defense, we obviously take instruction seriously. After-all, you can't teach great football without great teachers. That's why at one time or another we've employed 30 of the current 32 NFL Head Coaches as coaches at our football camps. In fact we're so committed to providing the most excellent instruction around that we will not hire anyone who has not at least coached at the collegiate level. Every year we guarantee a solid mix of qualified collegiate-level instructors as well as a respectable number of coaches who get paid to play their trade at the very highest level of competition, the NFL.

To teach the best, we hire the best. That's the Offense-Defense way.
