I’m Danny, and I’ll be your head coach and manager for the RedTails.

I grew up in Lodi, and some of my best memories are from playing Little League, where the focus was simply learning the game, having fun, and building friendships. I was fortunate to play for great coaches who taught me not only the fundamentals of baseball, but also how to carry myself on and off the field.

While I didn’t play professionally or at the collegiate level, I’ve spent most of my life around the game. I played at various levels, including club baseball, and after graduating I returned home and spent six seasons in the ABA and NJABL as a catcher, pitcher, and infielder.

Looking back, what I remember most isn’t the wins or statistics—it’s the friendships, the support from teammates, and the love of the game. That’s exactly what I hope to build with the RedTails: a program centered on player development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and creating an environment where kids can grow, compete, and genuinely enjoy coming to the field.

Welcome to the RedTails family!

My name is Rob Benham, and I’ve been coaching and managing my son’s and daughter’s baseball and softball teams since 2017. I grew up playing through the Little League system, starting in T-ball, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch my own kids develop the same love for the game. I played through high school as a starting pitcher, and when I wasn’t on the mound, I spent time at third base and in the outfield.

I volunteer with the RedTails because I believe kids in our community should have access to high-level baseball without the high price tag. As a nonprofit program, every dollar we collect goes right back into the players through equipment, batting cage time, field rentals, and quality instruction.

My goal is simple: to help every player who comes through our program develop the skills, confidence, and love for the game needed to make their high school team. Where they take the game from there is up to them, but I hope the lessons they learn, the friendships they build, and the memories they make with the RedTails stay with them long after their playing days are over.

I’m excited to be part of the RedTails family and look forward to helping our players grow both on and off the field.

I’m Brian, one of the coaches and instructors with the Parsippany RedTails Baseball Program.

I grew up playing baseball in Parsippany, along with basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to coach Little League, travel baseball, and high school baseball, including time with Morris Catholic High School. I’ve also been involved in evaluating and scouting players as they prepared for the next level of competition. In addition to baseball, I’ve coached soccer and hockey at the recreational, travel, and high school levels, and have worked with athletes on strength and conditioning.

Baseball has always been my favorite sport, and I’m passionate about helping players develop their skills while building confidence and enjoying the game. I’ve worked with players at every position and have provided instruction in hitting, pitching, fielding, and catching through both team practices and private lessons.

I believe young athletes benefit from playing multiple sports and that some of the best learning comes from making mistakes and growing from them. My goal is to help every player improve, gain confidence, and develop a lifelong love for the game while enjoying everything the RedTails program has to offer.
