Every player and team will be coached full-time by a member of our professional coaching staff in order to compete not only with the best teams in Oregon, but the best around the country. Many of the techniques and ideas used at the club have been developed and perfected across Europe, South America, and throughout the United States to produce Regional and National level ODP players, and national championship teams.
