Our DHAA Red Devils travel softball program offers a more advanced level of play for travel teams in 10U and 18U. We currently host teams in 8U, 10U, 12U , 14U, 16U, and 18U. Our DHAA Red Devils will more than likely play in 4-5 tournaments per month Spring, Summer and Fall. Most of the tournaments they will participate in are hosted by the USSSA. They will have a rigorous practice schedule throughout the year to keep them on an advanced track for skills development (to be able to handle that level of play). We will more than likely carry a roster of 12 girls on each team. If you are interested in trying out for a spot, please e-mail me at McCarthy@freehill.com or call 917-675-1476.
Our Softball program goal
We strive to develop talented softball players and that have incredible work ethic. We instill the love of the game in all girls because it is our hope that they will go on to play high school ball and even college ball. Our program tries to inspire our players to do more than they think they can. We get our players to entertain possibilities that stretch the limits of their beliefs. We approach softball teaching as opportunities where the more important life lessons can be taught such as mastering hardship, handling and rebounding from failures and setbacks, trusting your teammates, sacrificing individual needs for the benefit of the group, emotionally dealing with winning and losing, good sportsmanship, fair play, honesty, integrity. We inspire our athletes to believe in themselves is by continually putting them in situations which challenge their limiting beliefs. We don’t allow our players to just get by with the status quo. We push our athletes outside of their comfort zone, physically, mentally and emotionally, and then helping them discover that, in fact, they can do better than they first believed they could.
Our coaches have enormous passion for the game and try to instill that passion each and every day in all our girls. They also realize that softball is just a game, and games are meant to be fun. They find creative ways to integrate this fun into what they do over the course of the season, on a daily basis in practice and during competitions. We are finishing up our winter workouts so if you still are interested and feel that you have a daughter that may want to try softball – this may be a great opportunity to test the waters. If you are interested – please e-mail (mccarthy@freehill.com) or call my cell 917-675-1476 and I will provide you with information for our next winter practice.
