Celebrating a special day for DMA Athletics! ⚓️ 🦅

Our cadet-athletes took the next step in their journeys, officially signing to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level. This moment is a testament to their hard work, discipline, and commitment both on and off the field.

Thank you to the families, coaches, and teammates who have supported them every step of the way. We’re proud of everything these cadets have accomplished—and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

DMA Athletics is proud to announce our own Coach Ivan Lay as the new Boys Soccer Head Coach. Coach Lay has been promoted from his role as assistant coach and brings with him more than a decade of experience coaching high school soccer in Delaware, working successfully with both boys’ and girls’ programs. On the boys’ side, he earned multiple Blue Hen Flight B conference championships and DIAA state tournament berths, serving with distinction as both an assistant coach and head coach. Most recently, Coach Lay was an assistant at DMA under Coach Cox, where he played a key role in last season’s progress. Coach Lay combines proven experience with tremendous enthusiasm, and we are excited for him to build on the momentum established last year and continue moving the program forward. Congratulations, Coach Lay! ⚓️🦅

We are excited to welcome Coach Caldarelli to DMA and look forward to the leadership, experience, and passion he brings to the girls soccer program! ⚓️🦅

The first individual wrestling rankings are here.
The rankings were derived from several sources. Coaches input, last year's finish and competition, matches so far this season, spring and summer regional and national events and in some cases opinion. Some wrestlers may be competing at a higher weight class than posted, that is because we asked coaches where wrestlers projected to compete at for the state tournament, so that's where we ranked them.
Good luck this season. FYI girls rankings coming soon.
