Two-year varsity Letterman at Freeport High School in Freeport, NY, excelling as Quarterback and Free safety, earning the Iron Man award twice and achieving Long Island champion status in 2010-2011; transitioned to Virginia Union University as a Quarterback before answering my calling elsewhere after stepping away from the game shortly before spring practice. I fell back in love with my calling later on in life. I played football, basketball, lacrosse, ran track and field, amongst other sports.

Keena (CoachUp client)
Coach Dorrington is such a pleasure to work with. Very respectful young man, so far my son has had only sessions- but I must say with those 2 sessions my son said he likes what coach Dorrington has showed him. I am pleased with the choice I made on this platform, and look forward to this journey of training with my son.

Antoine (CoachUp client)
DJ was ready to work and had a plan prepared for my son after reviewing his film. Was engaged and knew what he wanted to get accomplished. Could see improvement just with the small adjustments he made. Will definitely be scheduling more sessions.
Kristina (CoachUp client)
Our son met with Coach DJ for the first time last night and neither he nor I could have been more impressed! His training style is multifaceted, innovative & fun! My son said he learned more in one session with Coach DJ than he did all preseason with his school coaches - he covered form, load, technique, pass/play recognition, coverage & so much more just in the one workout! We're so grateful to have found Coach DJ & are excited for our next session with him!! Can't recommend him enough!!
Kenya (CoachUp client)
My son learned so much from Coach Dorrington on the first day. I cant wait to see the progress as the sessions continue!!! My son said that "their is no question I will be competing for the starting Varsity QB position "....
Robert (CoachUp client)
Coach Dorrington was a great coach! After one session I already feel like a whole new athlete. I would recommend Coach Dorrington!
Cambridge (CoachUp client)
Today was out first private football lesson with Coach Dorrington. My son and I are extremely pleased with his knowledge of the game and skill set. He offered many suggestions and showed examples to improve my sons overall game. We will definitely be rebooking another practice with coach Dorrington.
Jared (CoachUp client)

Blake (CoachUp client)
We cannot say enough positive things about Coach Dorrington. He is very knowledgeable and his patience and attention to detail are unmatched. After our son's first session, there is already visible progression in his throwing technique and footwork as well. We are excited to see our son grow as an athlete as we continue to train with Coach Dorrington on a regular basis.
Tu Evangelis/ Coach (Testimonial)
Working with Sandwolf Quarterback Academy was great. Dorrington provided playbook creation and consultation and I would highly recommend him and his company. Easy to work with, communicative and just a great all around experience.
Robert Maxwell (Testimonial)
Coach DJ possesses every quality you’d want in a great coach. He’s bright, motivational, passionate, disciplined, and hungry to get better. More importantly, he instills these same qualities in the athletes he coaches. My sons skills and more importantly his level of confidence has grown since he began training with Coach DJ. You won't find a more committed, more caring coach anywhere in the United States.
Tamika Wilson Vaughn/ parent of SJ Vaughn (Testimonial)
Coach DJ is the best! My son has learned so much from him and we are so excited for him to learn so much more throughout his football journey. Not only his Coach but part of our Family!!!
Antonio Holloway/ parent of Ar’King Holloway (Testimonial)
Coach DJ is a great coach. I see dedication in his actions and his heart. Just a little over two years I have seen him work with a total of 6 quarterbacks. Get this coach in front of your kid if you want your kid to be a great quarterback and kid! Don’t wait, in little time you will see the difference it makes and the confidence they have. Great job Coach DJ!
Tammerick Staton/ QB Fayetteville Commandos (Testimonial)
great coaching helped me a lot on fundamentals on how to not injure my arm. most deff will be booking again.
Kristina Redd/ QB Raleigh Express (Testimonial)
Every session with coach is a great one. From footwork drills to fundamental analysis and film session, I always learn something new! The slightest changes makes the most difference! Can't wait to continue our work this season!
Darius/ Coach and father of athlete (Testimonial)
Coach Dj has been God sent for my son. My son decided to make the change to quarterback after 9 years of playing other positions and let me tell you, with the high level of knowledge and work he's received from Coach Dj, you wouldn't be able to tell that its his first year playing quarterback. Coach Dj teaches the position from beginning to end, emphasizing the little details that can make the difference between an average quarterback and a great quarterback. I look forward to the growth that my son will have under the tutelage of Coach Dj. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great trainer for their athlete.
Steven Vaughan Dad of Chesterfield Falcons Qb (Testimonial)
Dj is a very dedicated passionate trainer who takes the extra time needed to help develop his quarterbacks and prepare them for the challenges they will face leading a team at Qb his drive for coaching is unmatched and I am truly blessed my son had the opportunity to work out with Dj
Alex Bryant ( president/ head coach) Chesterfield Falcons (Testimonial)
Dorrington is the best there is to offer, I brought him into the organization and we have sky rocketed from there. He's extremely knowledgeable and knows the ins and outs of strategy and business. He's a natural born leader and a true professional. I reccomend him to everyone.
Larry Gross/ Co-assistant coach (Testimonial)
The last of a dying breed, he truly knows how to help and lead quarterbacks both young and old. His attention to detail and superior knowledge is second to none and I recommend him to all who play quarterback, you won't be disappointed.
