What are your strengths and why choose D.R.C.A Vs other sports providers?
At D.R.C.A we believe our strengths first and foremost is our passion and commitment to the grass roots level of all activities teaching and perfecting the basics so the youth can excel in sport and take on the next level. There are some fantastic and extremely professional environments across the U.A.E and we consider ourselves the go between, unfortunately we do not all develop at the same speed and some develop a little slower, this doesn't mean they do not have what it takes to reach the top of their desired sport but it just means things may require more time and a different environment where they can grow in confidence and competence before heading down the more competitive path. D.R.C.A plans to assist all abilities but will specialize in taking beginnings through to experts.
