O-D featured in Sports Illustrated Kids
When Sports Illustrated ran a feature detailing the best Summer Camps to send your kids to, Offense-Defense was an obvious choice to put at the top of the list. Below is a transcript of the original text; you can click here for a scanned copy.
Football – Offense Defense Camp – Multiple Locations
From 6:45 in the morning until 10 at night, campers eat, drink and sleep football. Offense-Defense is the nation's oldest full-contact camp. Five-day sessions are held in 23 states across the country beginning [in May] and running [through July] for kids ages 7-17. Day camps and extended camps are also offered. Once in camp, kids are evaluated and grouped based on skill level, age, and size.
Regardless of their position, campers get both offensive and defensive instruction from NFL coaches, such as New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini and Houston Texans assistant head coach Mike Sherman. On the last day, campers are put in teams and play in O-D Bowls to show what they've learned.
Offense-Defense is a great training ground for kids who are serious about playing football. Campers often return year after year. Famous alumni include current NFL stars Ben Roethlisberger, Michael Vick, Chad Johnson, Champ Bailey, and Ray Lewis, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen, and Dick Butkus.
