Training with the DCFA

Training With DCFA

Denison Cabral has been training players in and around Maryland for over 20 years. Drawing from his Brazilian roots and international playing experience, DCFA offers the most unique and effective training program in the area.

Our goal is to develop each player to play at their highest potential while also promoting respect for the game and good sportsmanship. We accomplish through positive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff; a progressive, skill-appropriate curriculum and a fun-filled environment for learning.

TESTIMONIALS

“Denison Cabral is a phenomenal player, coach, and person. Our son has been in his program for 2 years and we could not be happier with the progress. His ball [Our son's] control, foot work, confidence, and ability have improved tremendously through the DCFA program.” 

- Sean and Jen Gilbert, Former DCFA Parents

"Being part of DCFA has been a wonderful opportunity for my daughter.  It has increased her confidence and her technical skills.  The drills at training are engaging and fast paced, allowing for plenty of opportunities to get lots of touches on the ball under the guidance of very knowledgably and experienced instructors.  Some outdoor teams play futsal for a session over the winter, but it does not compare with how much is gained by playing and training with DCFA.  I would recommend DCFA to any soccer player at any level of ability.  They will definitely come out being a better player for having participated." 

~ Jason Simard - Former DCFA coach and father of Madison

I highly recommend Denison Cabral Futsal Academy to anyone involved in youth soccer.  Our son has attended numerous camps and played on the DCFA Academy Teams for the last four plus years.  His first touch, technical ability, decision making, and overall understanding of the game have improved every season he has been involved.  Denison and his team are focused on player development and work with the participants to help improve them as players, teammates and people.  Most importantly, the players have a lot of fun making new friends and learning new skills.   Chris M.

"Michael has been with DCFA for 5 years now and will continue to train with Denison for years to come.  The training routines and the club culture have helped him develop a love of the game, confidence on the ball, defensive skills, and an overall comfort level playing in tight pressure situations that futsal generates.

The DCFA Elite program is a big part of the experience.  Denison sets a very high standard for his players both on and off the court and his teams compete at the highest level.   Michael wears the DCFA uniform with pride."
