Dan was selected for the 2010 White team (2nd team) for the 2017 fall season, staying with coach Sean Downey. He played half of most games in goal. The season had a rough start, in a fairly inexperienced team playing "up" a year in the Midwest United Cup they suffered some heavy defeats.
The team recovered though and grew together through some solid performances. A single goal defeat away to the division winners Reeths Puffer, and a draw against Alliance Shoreline in Ludington - where they lost out on a win through a half-field volley as the last kick of the game - were two great performances.
He became the team’s free kick specialist, scoring three direct kicks during the season. He finished on five goals including a penalty.
He took part in GRPS soccer again for Harrison Park, but missed most of their game days due to club commitments.

For the 2018 Spring season he was promoted into the 2010 Royal team (1st team) under JR Burnett. As part of their preparation for this league the newly expanded squad played in a house league at the SoccerZone in Jenison. The squad included guests from 2010 White and 2011 teams.
This was his debut at 7v7 GVSA play in the 2010 Royal team (1st team) under JR Burnett, playing up a year in U9 Division 3. His team went through the whole season unbeaten, winning seven and drawing one.
He scored his only goals of the season from open play, both in a 9-1 win over Fury. He played just two halves in goal, conceding just the one goal.
