Every great defensive back starts with a strong foundation. This four-week program is designed for newer and developing defensive backs in grades 5–8, generally ages 10–14. No advanced experience is required, but athletes should be ready to learn, compete, and accept coaching.

We will break down the details that often get overlooked: stance and starts, backpedal mechanics, footwork, hip movement, transitions, leverage, break angles, catching technique, ball skills, and basic coverage principles. Athletes will not just learn how to perform a drill. They will learn why the movement matters, when to use it, and how it connects to an actual play.

I bring energy, creativity, and high expectations to every session, but I will never rush an athlete past the fundamentals. I will demonstrate each technique, break it down, coach every repetition, and gradually add speed, reaction, and competition as athletes become more comfortable.

The group is limited to six athletes. During partner and competitive drills, DBs will be matched as closely as possible by age, size, experience, and current ability.

Foundations does not mean easy. It means we are building the athlete correctly. Come ready to learn, accept coaching, compete, and improve. Confidence is not something I will ask athletes to pretend to have. We will earn it through preparation, repetition, and progress.
