The ODP Coaching Staff features highly-experienced coaches from across the state who have been selected to provide a positive, useful, and objective experience to all participating players. Approximately two-thirds of our staff coaches have collegiate coaching experience, and they will be a valuable resource for our older ODP players who are seeking guidance regarding the college selection and recruiting process.
