Dana Farris

Why do I Coach?
As a competitive athlete throughout my younger years, I found myself missing the game after I became unable to compete.  I then found that I worked well with kids and was able to teach the skills and help them develop as a player.  Through coaching I am able to stay involved in a game that I love and pass my experience/knowledge onto others.
