Coach Mike Darr and the DVC Vikings

Picture
Head Coach: Mike Darr of the Diablo Valley College Vikings will be holding a youth football camp to teach fundamental football techniques to youth players of all levels who are looking to understand and enjoy the game of football.

 Coach Darr has a winning tradition at DVC with a complete staff of coaches to instruct your player on understanding proper technique to excel in both their Youth and High School levels. They will instruct them on the physical and mental aspects of playing at a high level of football.

Coach Darr enters his sixth year as Head Football Coach.  This is his 17th
year coaching at the Community College level and his ninth here at DVC.  Coach
Darr is also the Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Backs Coach.  Prior to
coming to DVC he spent six seasons at Los Medanos College.  At both schools, the
defenses he helped coach were perennially ranked in the top 10 in the state.  In
2011, The Vikes finished the season as the #1 defense in the Nation!  Considered
one of the most aggressive schemes in community college football, the defense at
DVC has led the state in sacks, turnovers and points scored by the defense. 

Before graduating from Clayton Valley High School, coach Darr was a four
sport athlete, competing in football, basketball, baseball and track.  Also a
graduate of DVC, coach Darr was a two year starter at Safety.  His sophomore
year, he was an All-Conference selection and the defensive team captain of the
undefeated 1989 Vikings.  Coach Darr's bout with cancer and his hard-nosed play
led his teammates to vote him the team's Most Inspirational Player.  After DVC,
coach Darr transferred to Sac State, then finished his playing career at Chico
State where he was an Academic All-American.

 Coach Darr received his AA from Diablo Valley College, his BA from Chico
State University and his MA from St. Mary's College.  He lives in Concord with
his wife Laura and two children, Haley (13) and Tyler (10).
