“Tyler couldn’t stop talking about Coach Dab’s training after his first session. He loves the 7v7 tournaments and looks forward to every practice. His coaches at school even noticed the difference in how sharp he’s gotten. Thank you for pouring into these kids!” — Samantha G.

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 5

Amazing experience for my son Elijah! Coach Dab teaches discipline, technique, and teamwork in a way that really sticks with the kids. His 7v7 squad feels like a family. Elijah’s catching, route-running, and mindset have gone to the next level.” — Monique S.

Mikayla Lambert

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 6

We’ve tried other programs, but none compare to what Coach Dab offers. My daughter Mikayla plays flag football, and she’s now outrunning everyone thanks to the speed and agility drills. Plus, she’s learning actual football IQ – not just running around. Highly recommend!” — Eric L., Proud Dad

RJ Knox

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 5

Coach Dab has completely transformed my son Jayden’s game! Before training, he struggled with confidence and footwork. Now he’s faster, more explosive, and thinking like a real quarterback. The 7v7 sessions are super competitive and fun – exactly what these kids need to level up!” — William Knox, RJ’s Father

Diego Thomas

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 4

“From the first session, Coach Dab made my son Diego feel like a champion. The energy is unmatched, and the drills are top-tier. I’ve seen big improvements in Diego’s balance, reaction time, and overall toughness. This is the real deal.” — Marcus T.
