    Introducing Coach Donovin Darius:

    I’m Coach Donovin Darius. I graduated from Syracuse University, was 25th pick overall in the 1998 Draft and played Strong Safety for 10 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now I own and operate Donovin Darius Next Level, an organization founded to educate, equip and empower athletes for the highest performance on and off the field. I will pass on to my athletes what I learned from my coaches and experienced throughout my All-Pro career, such things as how to become: The Hardest Worker On and Off the field, the Most Coachable Athlete and a Dominating Player with a Never-Give-Up Attitude. In these camps and clinics I will specialize in coaching the defensive side of the ball, special teams and facilitating the Athlete’s Leadership Development Program.

    What makes our DDNL  team different is simple: We’ve BEEN THERE; NCAA, NFL, DONE THAT; Multi-years of Pro experience, have the REPUTATION TO PROVE IT; Aug, 2005 Sports Illustrated “Best Trained NFL Player, and now WE WILL TEACH YOU AND YOUR ATHLETES EVERYTHING WE KNOW & HAVE EXPERIENCED through our comprehensive football program.

    Pre-Season Period

    The Preseason Period (June-August) is the most critical period for All Football Players. Most players and teams, despite age and skill level separate themselves from their competition and insure success based on how technically sound and conditioned they are prior to coming into training camp or their regular season to get properly acclimated for the physical and mental demands of the game.

    Team NEXT LEVEL ELITE will be offering three different types of camps during this 2012 Pre-Season Period throughout the Northeast Florida region.

    1-Day Football Camp: In one day with the offensive and defensive coaching of Donovin Darius, athletes will participate and walk away with the knowledge, skills and drills guaranteed to take their game to the next level. One-Day camps will focus on introducing athletes to the Donovin Darius Next Level methodology of training.  Athletes will, while having a great time, learn and have the best experience of their life.

    2-Day Football Camp: The 2-Day camp format is aimed at building upon our knowledge, skills and drills that were learned in our one-day camp. In this more advanced format, athletes will 1) receive more instruction and evaluation on techniques 2) apply and test those techniques in competitive one-on-one drills and 3) apply and test those techniques in team drills such as 4 on 4 and 7 on 7 passing drills as well as Off/Def lineman drills.

    4-Day Football Camp: Our 4-day camps are our premium opportunities for athletes of all ages and skill levels to maximize their potential and for parents to get the best return on their investments. In these sessions coaches will have the opportunity to build upon each skill at the pace needed to guarantee success. Each practice, as shown in the 4-Day Camp format, will have a different technique focus as well as drills to reinforce fundamentals learned in the previous days. These camps are fun-filled with games and activities to create the BEST EXPERIENCE for coaches and athletes.


    Clinics - 

    Coaches: Within these coaching clinics Coach Darius and Coach Morgan will partner with local teams, organizations and coaches in teaching them several topics: how to motivate athletes, coaching from the inside out, practice formats, teaching methods, video aid for maximizing performance, training methodologies, offensive, and defensive systems, etc.

    Athletes: In these 1-2 hour sessions, athletes will receive specific upper-level technique training to maximize their performance on the court field. Clinics include: Sport-specific speed, Sport-specific mobility and agility, and Takling, Catching and Blocking training for all football players. These sessions will include video-taping and reviewing athletes performance during each practice session.
