Our names are Marc and Danielle and we are the parents to 3 children total! We have an 8yr old who loves every sport possible, but especially baseball! We have been on several recreation teams where Marc was the coach but over time it just was not enough. Our family wanted more and so did local recreation players ready to move up. From that, we partnered with southern squeeze athletics to start The Orlando Rays!
We help manage the scheduling and organizing, while the coach focuses on helping the kids improve and develop new skills.
We are a newly established 8U & 9U travel team formed under the non-profit organization Southern Squeeze Athletics. We compete in GOB tournaments once a month with a hired head coach eager to teach and motivate the players. We are excited to have the kids learn new drills, exceed on the field and grow in their skills.
