MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Chicago Bears returner Devin Hester will join |NFL superstars Randy Moss, Shawne Merriman, Fred Taylor, Bob Sanders, T.J. Houshmanzedah and Julius Peppers and other NFL players as instructors for the Offense-Defense Football Camps held nationwide this summer.

O-D Football Camps, the Official Football Camp of the NFL Coaches Association, will work with football players between the ages of 7-18 all across the country, including a camp in Chicago.

Now in its 40th season of conducting the only full-contact camps in the country, O-D Football Camps will be held in 35 cities.

This summer's pro lineup reads like a hard-core fan's fantasy team, with seven Pro Bowl and 34 total NFL players taking part in the No. 1 Summer Sports Camp, as named by Sports Illustrated for Kids.

In keeping with the Offense-Defense philosophy, O-D Football Camps have selected the best on both sides of the ball. Moss, who set an NFL record by catching 23 touchdown passes in 2007, will team up with Patriots' wide receiving mate Wesley Welker at the New England held camp in July.

Sanders, the reigning NFL defensive MVP for the Colts, will instruct at the Indianapolis camp in June, while Merriman, the Chargers' Pro Bowl linebacker, will be featured at the San Diego camp in June.

On special teams, the Bears' Hester, who holds the NFL record for kick returns for touchdowns, will be at the Chicago camp in June.

O-D Football Camps are deep at wide receiver, with the Cardinals' Anquan Boldin in Flagstaff in July and the Cowboys' Patrick Crayton in Houston and the 49ers' Ashley Lelie in San Francisco in June.

So who's going to throw the ball to the all-star cast of wide receivers? O-D Football Camps has them covered, with Rams quarterback Marc Bulger making an appearance at the St. Louis camp in June.

The registration deadline is May 31. To find and register for a camp near you, visit www.o-d.com.
