Mission, Policies & Core Values

Mission

Delta Fastpitch Association aspires to be an outstanding softball organization that provides a high quality experience to every athlete.  A high quality experience is one in which every athlete:

  1. Is coached using the principles of positive coaching.
  2. Is competitive at practices and games while still having fun.
  3. Feels like an important part of the team regardless of performance.
  4. Learns ‘life lessons’ that have value beyond the playing field.
  5. Learns the skills, tactics and strategies of softball and improves as a player.

We recognize that coaches are the people who most directly make this possible.  It is our goal to provide each coach with the tools to succeed.  We are committed to creating a positive culture, in which, coaches, parents, fans, officials and athletes work together to achieve our mission.

“Through Heart and Hustle, May We Rise Like an Inferno.”
