More About Coach Dorrington
Certified Quarterback Coach, Football Strategist & Founder of Sandwolf QB Academy LLC, I’ve developed quarterbacks across all levels — youth to adult, male and female — with a proven record of success. My coaching background includes serving as the QB Coach for the Chesterfield Falcons, Offensive Quality Control/QB Coach for the Fayetteville Commandos, and leading signal-callers for the national champion Richmond Black Widows and Central Virginia Tigers. I’m USA Football certified in “Heads Up” tackling and concussion training, and I bring a complete, modern approach to QB development—on-field mechanics, mental toughness, and football IQ.
I’m also a featured writer on CoachUp Nation, where I share insight on athlete mindset, resilience, and the balance of academics and athletics.

I’m a two-year varsity letterman from Freeport High School in New York, where I embraced the roles of both quarterback and free safety. During this journey, I proudly earned the Iron Man Award twice for my toughness and versatility, helping lead my team to back-to-back Long Island Championships in 2010 and 2011. I continued to pursue my passion for the game by walking on as a quarterback at Virginia Union University, showcasing my dedication and work ethic at the collegiate level. In addition to football, I competed in multiple sports including basketball, lacrosse, and track & field, cultivating a broad athletic foundation that fuels my passion for coaching and inspires every player I mentor.
Every athlete walks onto the field with one goal — to get better. In just 60 minutes, we focus on doing exactly that. My session is built for players of all positions and skill levels who want to sharpen their fundamentals, elevate their football IQ, and grow their confidence.
We begin with a high-energy warm-up designed to wake up the body and the brain. Dynamic stretching, footwork ladders, and quick plyometric bursts get athletes loose and explosive — setting the tone for a productive session.
Once we’re warm, we dive into core skill development. Whether you’re a quarterback working on timing and accuracy, a receiver running crisp routes, or a defender learning proper angles and tackling technique — this portion is all about mastering the basics that win games. Ball security, catching under pressure, and decision-making are emphasized throughout.
Then we break into position-specific work. Quarterbacks fine-tune their dropbacks, pocket movement, and progressions. Receivers and tight ends work on releases, catching in traffic, and creating separation. Running backs improve vision and agility, while defenders and linemen focus on shedding blocks, pursuit, and coverage. Every athlete is coached in the details that matter for their role.
As we approach the final stretch, we simulate game situations — scripted plays, quick decision-making, and live scenarios that teach athletes how to respond under pressure. This is where the hard work starts to come together.
Finally, we close with a cool-down and recap. Athletes stretch to aid recovery, hydrate, and receive personalized coaching points to take with them. I always end with encouragement — because improvement doesn’t stop when the session ends.
Parents, here’s what this session delivers:
• A stronger, smarter, more confident athlete
• Position-specific development tailored to your child
• A structured environment that emphasizes discipline, leadership, and growth
• A coach who leads with purpose, passion, and a player-first mentality
If you’re ready to help your athlete level up — I’m ready to lead the way.

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.

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)

We cannot say enough positive things about Coach Dorrington. He is very knowledgeable and his patience and attention to detail are unmatched.

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.
