ABOUT RED DRAGONS

The origin of Red Dragons goes back to the summer of  2000 when Coach Devesin was the head coach of Track & Field at La Salle Academy. Coach Devesin started a summer program to keep his City Championship team in shape.  Although the program started out with only Track & Field athletes, it grew as athletes from other sports would show up looking for training help.

In 2002 Coach Novoa joined our group bringing in his football and physical training expertise to an eager athletic community. In 2003 Red Dragons left Manhattan and began to work out of  McClancy High School in East Elmhurst and the Astoria Track in Queens, New York.  Today members of our first group have come back to help coach.

Coach Cruz and Simmons, respectively, currently participate in  Division I University athletics. They bring their own experiences to our program and help individuals understand the training it takes to compete at the college level.

Red Dragons is open the both male and female High School athletes. Through guidance, athletes are encouraged to make good food, technique and life choices.  We hope the athletes understand the importance of taking care of their bodies by being drug-free, maintaining adequate rest, as well as, becoming self-disciplined and motivated.
