About The CoachBuilt By A Champion.
Built By A Champion.
Designed For You.
Darrell Smith is the founder and Director of Operations at Smith Performance Athletics. A former Oregon Duck, Darrell relocated from Portland to Arizona to build a complete football pipeline for the next wave of elite athletes.
Through Team Spa Elite and Hell on Turf, Coach Smith runs 7v7 Redzone Tournaments, high school programs, and year-round youth development across the Valley — training, competition, and recruiting all under one roof.
Our youth programs serve athletes ages 6–18 with year-round football, speed & agility, and mentorship in leadership, academics, and character — because the goal isn't just better athletes, it's better young men ready for whatever comes next.
