Within this site, we hope to provide you with information about our 2011 Season including our rosters and schedules, details about our leadership/coaching and structure, details about our Alumni and their successes and to give potential players details to help them determine if this opportunity might be something that interests them.
In 2012, the Danes will continue with the strategy to host one a single elite 18-and-Under team with top players from Wisconsin and Minnesota. We have roster opportunities available for the right players.
We have a very unique program, which has been built from humble beginnings. We have been able to build this highly respected and successful program due to the hard work and commitment of many people. The Danes today, are a reflection of the Danes of the past. We are very proud to be the leading edge team in the softball community. We are also excited about the future of the Danes and the next generation of outstanding athletes.
There are many teams that have similar marketing pitches. But look deeper at the results and details and you'll find there are many program profiting off of players and promising exposure but in reality exposing players who are not prepared for the challenges of contributing early in their college career. As you can see from the results you'll see in this site, we give HS players the fundamental skills and experiences needed to accelerate their success in college softball. We focus on preparing the player, not promoting our own program.
I truly hope that you find value in our site and would love feedback, please don’t hesitate to send an e-mail to danesfastpitch@hotmail.com.
