Meet our exceptional Coaching Staff!

The Texans are extremely proud of our Coaching Staff, which features Coaches from all over the globe, 10 of which have experience coaching at the Collegiate level. Almost all of our staff have played at, or above, the collegiate level, providing tremendous insight and knowledge to our players. The ability to be able to demonstrate and paint a picture for the players is so valuable and one which DTF takes seriously. "Our program is blessed to be able to provide such high level technical examples in the form of Tricia Cooper, Nicolau Cardoso, Felipe Lawall to name a few, to show our younger players the correct technique and lay down the fundamentals" DOC David Kemp states "To be able to learn from these guys, who possess an extreme level of technical ability, is something that our younger players are very thankful for. Our staff has played all over the world and can pass on different ideas, concepts and experiences to all our players. It is also a great environment for our coaches, as on any night you are surrounded by top quality professionals running great training, so you all pick up ideas from each other.
