2 Football coaches & instructors for lessons in Upper Falls, MD

I have played football at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels, where I developed a strong passion for the game and learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and leadership. My experience as a player has helped shape my coaching style and allows me to teach athletes both the fundamentals of football and the importance of hard work on and off the field. I am dedicated to helping players grow, compete, and reach their full potential

If you’re serious about getting better, really better, I’m here to help you get there. I’m Coach DJ Foster, a former Army service member, collegiate athlete, and experienced football coach who’s passionate about developing athletes who compete with confidence, discipline, and control. My coaching background includes serving as a Defensive Coordinator for youth football, Head Coach for middle school boys and girls flag football, and Defensive Backs Coach at St. Frances Academy, experiences that have shaped my athlete-centered, development-first approach. My training philosophy is built around the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, meeting each athlete where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally to help them progress the right way. Every session is designed to improve movement efficiency, decision-making, and football IQ while reinforcing character traits like focus, accountability, and emotional discipline. Parents can expect a structured, safe, and positive environment that prioritizes steady improvement over shortcuts. My goal is to develop complete athletes, skilled, confident, and resilient young people who are prepared to excel in sports and in life. “Discipline beats motivation when motivation isn’t disciplined.” That’s the mindset I build into every athlete I train.
