About Us
Acre Athletics was created from the life we already loved living—being outside, staying active, and making meaningful memories as a family.
As parents, we’re passionate about helping kids build confidence, work hard, stay active, and enjoy being outdoors.
More than athletics, Acre is about movement, community, and growth.We believe there’s something powerful about movement, sunshine, community, and time spent outside. Acre exists to create a place where kids can move, grow, build confidence, and make lasting memories.
COACHING THAT GROWS YOU
Outdoor Training
Movement looks different at Acre. Our sessions take place outdoors where kids can run, compete, explore, and build confidence in a natural environment.
Athlete Mentors
Train alongside Ballard High School athletes who serve as positive role models, encouragers, and mentors for younger participants.
Community First
Acre is about more than athletics. We create opportunities for kids to build friendships, confidence, leadership skills, and a love for being active.

Member Testimonials
Our child has had Coach D for soccer and he responds great to him. Knowing that our child would be in great hands is valued beyond words.
– Mark Judge
Donovan has been a highly motivating influence on my son. Last summer, he designed thoughtful and dynamic workouts that incorporated both bodyweight exercises and equipment-based training. The workouts were not only effective but also fun, and my son genuinely enjoyed going each time.
– Lisa Madison
Coach Donovan has been amazing for Bennett. He has a great way of pushing kids to work hard and improve while still making things fun. After weekly workouts with Donovan last summer, we saw a huge improvement in Bennett’s athleticism, confidence, and work ethic.
What stands out most is how much Donovan genuinely cares about the kids and their development. He challenges them, encourages them, and helps build confidence while teaching the value of hard work and teamwork.
We’re incredibly thankful for the positive impact he’s had on Bennett and would highly recommend him.
