“These times are for these girls to play as much as they can, to make friendships and learn life lessons that they will all carry into adulthood.”

Coach Dave started the Long Island Rage Fastpitch organization in January 2020, and he has created an environment and culture where it’s about fairness, opportunity and for these girls to enjoy themselves playing the sport that they love. He looks to teach all our Rage girls how to be great and supportive teammates and to play the game of softball with respect and dignity. With an initial 12U team of 15 great young players and ladies back in January 2020 Coach Dave has built a growing and thriving softball organization. “Our foundation has allowed us to grow from one team to becoming the fastest growing organization on the island, owning our own indoor facility, employing and having on staff over 20+ people and having over 110+ girls in our Rage system every year since 2023.”  

Coach Dave has always believed that every girl that wants to play softball should have that opportunity and that there is no one that should tell any young lady that they “shouldn’t play softball”.  He has always welcomed girls to his organization at all levels of play, and Coach Dave and his coaching staff will work with them and give them all the tools they need to grow and play this great sport of fastpitch softball. Coach Dave has always and will always offer different levels of teams to accommodate all players and allow them to have plenty of playing time to enhance their skills, build their confidence and allow them to grow as a player and teammate.
