Profile
As the ONLY NAGAAA-affiliated softball league in Colorado, the Denver Area Softball League (DASL) is dedicated to the promotion of amateur softball for all persons regardless of age, race, creed, religion, sex, or national origin, with special emphasis placed on the participation of members of the gay/lesbian community of the Denver Area.
The goal of the league is to provide a sports outlet for individuals as a way to meet and interact with like-minded people in the spirit of friendly competition in an environment, which promotes good health and fitness. The league encourages the involvement of non-playing members who are considered members in good standing and accrue all the benefits thereof. During the course of the season the league holds various fundraisers and at the end of the season an awards banquet is held where we honor individual and team achievement, and thank our sponsors. We are proud of our league’s continued growth and accomplishments over the years and we look forward to serving the gay sports community of the Denver Area for years to come.
The Denver Area Softball League, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1998. The league’s general membership includes both playing and non-playing members as well as team sponsors. DASL is governed by a seven-member Board elected by the general membership at the annual fall meeting. DASL is also a member in good standing of the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA). NAGAAA serves as the national governing body for its member cities, which now include over two dozen alliance members throughout the U.S. and Canada. Various member cities sponsor national invitational softball tournaments throughout the year. NAGAAA also sponsors the annual Gay Softball World Series in late summer that is hosted by a different member city each year.
