Hey!!

My name is Danielle, but in sports people call me Dani! I’m 15 years old (turning 16 in Feb 2026), and I love everything about sports, most of all girls baseball! I love our teams, our development programs, our tournaments and while I truly LOVE playing, I am also so, SO happy when I am coaching! I plan to pursue a career in sport leadership or management and right now I’m trying to get as many experiences I can to develop new skills and networks which help grow sports especially for girls.

I am asking for your support to help me participate in an amazing opportunity from Dec 4-6, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona! I have been invited to be an Assistant Coach with the Western New York based 12U Upstate girls baseball team playing at the Leighton Accardo Tournament, with Head Coaches Beth Greenwood and Denae Benites!!

If you don’t know them, Beth and Denae are both part of the USA Woman's National Team AND both made the draft for the Women’s Professional Baseball League (WPBL) starting in 2026! Beth has also been part of the coaching crew for the Philadelphia Phillies Development Program.

It will be a dream come true to be on the bench, coaching with these amazing people! I want to learn as much as I can from them and bring it back home to the other team I am assistant coaching (11U Royal York Select Girls)!

Your support would go toward costs such as flight, accommodation, and meals.

Thank you for cheering me on!

Coach Dani
