Mission
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.

About Us
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.
FINANCIAL
DASL
is funded by membership dues, sponsorship fees, and by monies raised via
fundraising events. These funds in turn help defray league expenses for field
rental, umpire fees, general league expenditures, awards and trophies, etc. The
league also provides partial financial assistance to Denver teams that win the
right to participate in the Gay Softball World Series.
FUTURE
COMMUNITY GOAL
As
an active and responsible member of Denver’s gay community DASL would like to
be able donate a percentage of its annual revenues to local charities every
year. Upon review of their needs the Board would choose these charities at the
beginning of the season. As a league we take great pride in being able to
give something back to the community we serve and look forward to the day this
is possible!
