The Danes Travel Softball Program believes that qualified proven coaching and coaching techniques are one of the major benefits for players to join our program; we believe that there is no program in the Upper Midwest that can provide players with the preparation and development to prepare for success in the college game. 

The Danes 18U Coaching Staff attempts to provide the same level of coaching and expectations that would be found at winning college programs to help our players transition with success to the college game.
