"We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future."

-- Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Danes are a non-for-profit association which is entirly for the benefit of the players within their organization. 

That said, the Danes are also a large and complex entity within the "structure" of a softball team.  We offer two full time tournament teams in the summer, a summer league team, a fall season of league and tournament play, a dome season for league play, a Danes Winter Clinics program and a Danes 2 College program. 

We would not have the success we have without the strong leadership, coaches and parents detailed in the pages within this section.

The Danes Coaching Approach

The Danes coaches replicate the same level of coaching and management that the elite college softball programs use within their programs.

The Danes are focused on developing both the physical skills as well as the mental understanding of the game; understanding that top players need both to succeed at the next level.  

Players are expected to dedicate non-Danes time to their own development.

The Danes strongly encourage players to make a decision on their college sports goals early in their Junior year to allow two years of focus to make those goals a reality. 

Winning and losing are secondary focuses compared to learning, development and future long term success of our players at the college level. 

We run aggressive defensive systems, teach cutting edge hitting mechanics and partner with personal pitching coaches to provide 360 degree development of complete pitchers. 

Danes coaches generally are students and former players of the game; teaching from a common set of mechanics, strategies and drills using the Danes Style Sheet.
