Darrell Dulany brings years of positive coaching experience to the Upper Darby Royals, writes Matt Smith for MediaNews Group.

Dulany was on the coaching staff at The Haverford School for four years and most recently oversaw the Bonner & Prendergast freshman team.

Dulany stresses structure and discipline, and his practices are well organized.  

It’s a skill he picked up while a high school player at Valley Forge Military Academy and from his four years at Haverford School.

“Discipline and structure is something that I carry throughout my life, so now I’m implementing it to my program,” Dulany said.

Upper Darby hired Darrell Dulany, a former University of Rhode Island defensive back, last winter, and he went right to work on the Royals football team.

The team’s home field is being repaired, so this season, the home games will be played at Drexel Hill Middle School.  

Dulany said he has “a lot of confidence in my team,” especially since they’ve been working together since January.

“So the time it takes for a lot of teams to build that team chemistry over a two-week camp, we’ve been doing it for months,” Dulany said.
