We feel so blessed to have found the Divas, getting to know Coach Brown, Coach Joey and the rest of the organization over the past 3 years have been great!. It is amazing how practices are intense yet fun, I witnessed the players being motivated beyond measure to reach their goals. My family truly enjoys spending time with all of you and watching our girls become such great players. Once again this experience has been affordable and positive, not only for the girls but for our whole family. We all will have memories and friendships to last a lifetime. We want to thank you guys so much for all the effort and time you spend with all the girls in our community.

When I started playing for Coach Brown I never thought I would end up learning softball techniques and life skills that would assist me through college. Through his coaching and patience I learned a lot about softball but his best lesson was teaching me to believe in me. When I look back at my teen years, one of my fondest memories will be of the times I played with the Divas.
