The mission of the Diamond Elite Academy Teams is to develop fully rounded amateur players who exhibit character, integrity and elite athletic performance. It is Diamond Elite Academy's vision to take good, dedicated athletes and help them develop to their maximum potential -- and ultimately -- to create strong Division One scholarship prospects.

To that end, the organization is seeking players who will work year-round, training both outdoors and in the Diamond Elite indoor training academy in Dulles, Virginia. Diamond Elite features state-of-the art -equipment including the Right View Pro Video Analysis System.

Of the moment technology, coupled with training by our champion staff (including many Washington Glory players & coaches) will allow us to produce a very special organization with an elite training environment. The Washington Glory coaching staff of Head Coach Carie Dever-Boaz and Assistant Coach Erin Goettlicher, named 2007 NPF Coaches of the Year, will help direct curriculum for overall player development.

Our dream was to help kids build their dream of playing at a higher level , through exposure to the players of the Washington Glory, and by providing a place for them to train year around to work at getting better at their sport. By bringing the Washington Glory here and opening Diamond Elite, we have accomplished both of these goals. With our travel ball program we will provide solid examples of what year around dedication and elite training can do for individual players and teams, as they have with so many of the successful travel ball programs on the West Coast.

We'll continue to offer training with the Glory players and coaches to ALL who desire it -- it is a major component of our goal to elevate softball in our area. By teaching the coaches and organizational leaders in the house and travel ball leagues, we can continue to help raise the level of softball in our area to what it is on the West Coast.

Our vision is to have teams that are developmental in nature that will be led with the understanding that winning comes as a result of hard work and dedication.

Our vision for the Diamond Elite Academy Travel Teams:
* dedicated and hard working kids who support their teammates, work hard both on and off the field who love the game of softball
* well coached and instructed
* head coaches will be certified through the Positive Coaching Alliance as Double Goal Coaches
* Players and parents will understand that respect & honor for the game, its officials and each other is a high priority
* We expect to be competitive and win our share of games and tournaments, but, our number one focus is on the development of each player on every team.
* FUN! That's why we really want to be involved with the sport in the first place -- the love of the game and having fun playing it
