Over the past three weeks eight TNT players have participated in Region II ODP Camp. These camps have brought together the best players from the 14 state associations in Region II. The goal of each camp is to identify the top 40-50 players in the entire region. Regional camp usually lasts about five days with multiple training sessions or games each day. The Boys Region II ODP camp was held in Overland Park, Kansas with the Girls Region II ODP camp in Dekalb, Illinois.

Region II consists of 14 state associations in the greater Midwest (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio North, Ohio South, South Dakota, Wisconsin). All State ODP Team players from each state attend camp for their specific birth year camp. Usually there are around 300-400 players per camp with the top 36-40 players selected to the regional pool. The final regional team is selected from this pool.

We would like to conratulate and recognize all of our players for representing TNT and the state of Michigan through ODP. We are very proud of you. Keep up the good work!!
