GENERAL INFORMATION
The Colorado Diamonds competitive softball teams are part of the South Jeffco Sports Association. The Diamonds organization was started in 2001 to create more opportunities for softball players to continue past recreational softball into much more competitive play and still remain part of the South Jeffco community.
These teams are highly focused on teaching fundamentals, fun, and teamwork. The coaches see their role as molding players to become skilled athletes by mastering techniques of the sport, and to prepare them for High School Level softball with solid mechanics and good sportsmanship.
Commitment is a key factor to the success of any team. Players are expected to attend on time and fully participate in all scheduled practices and games. If a player cannot attend a practice or a game for any reason, one of the coaches should be notified as soon as possible. This is competitive level softball. A player’s ability is often fully tied to the effort and time they and their teammates put into practice. A player most likely will advance at softball if they take advantage of the time they have available to practice with the team and coaches.
We believe that competitive softball provides valuable tools and abilities for our players that will help them in sports, and in life. We hope to build strong players, and strong teams. Therefore, although winning is certainly desirable and something we will diligently pursue, we think there are many other goals and attributes that are equally important. Demonstrated commitment and a desire to improve, coupled with the effort required to progress, are just a few examples of the qualities we hope and expect to see in all of our players. If these things are initially present in our players, and we can help to deepen, develop and refine them further, we think success is guaranteed regardless of our win-loss record. When combined with a supportive and encouraging community that we hope and expect the assembled families to help create and maintain, we will have a rewarding experience and a measure of success that lasts beyond a season of softball.
