DHBA offers a comprehensive program for existing select, regional and elite teams that seek to participate in our year round skills academy but prefer to maintain their own brand. Our academy plan begins in September with individual skills development, performance training, nutrition guidance and film study – all centered on the player, family, coach and club management. We maintain an individual player focus through December. Beginning in January, DHBA adds in team concepts, situational scrimmaging and begins the process of supporting the coach with a transition plan. By March, we are tightly integrated into the ongoing development of the team to achieve the best possible team performance. Of course the player development agenda is never lost. DHBA maintains open class opportunities for players and provides ongoing skills for Academy teams. At the end of summer, in August, we begin enrollment again for the following school year.
For Coaches – We offer a menu of items to support the Coach and club management. Nothing mandatory. Pick and choose what works best for your situation.
