Dublin Youth Athletics 

Online registration starts in mid to late December.

In person sign-ups are held the last Saturday January.  Volunteers are needed to staff tables.  

Program Eligibility

Participation in the program is open to girls in the first through twelfth grade during the current school year who attend Dublin City Schools or who reside within the City of Dublin or reside within the Dublin City School District.  

General Structure

The Softball Seniors league includes players through grade 12.  As in the case of the 7th to 12th grade girls basketball league, Softball Seniors now provides playing opportunities for all senior high school girls.  As of 1998 the program stopped at eighth grade.  At that time there were a few high school players who expressed interest in playing summer softball, but did not have enough players to form an independent team for area high school leagues.  This league provides an alternative and an opportunity for those players seeking a recreation softball program.  It also provides a program for ninth graders who played last year, but would be closed out under the old program.

The league sizes for the current year are based on applications in house on January 31st.  Limited openings are left for late sign-ups in each league and will be filled on a first-come, first-in basis.  Once leagues are filled, applications will be placed on a wait-list with such applicants being put on teams to replace players who drop-out, move, become injured, etc.  League meetings for coaches are scheduled during the last two weeks in March.  Coaches are asked to notify players within 48 hours of the league meeting.

Games and Practices

Practices are from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm or from 7:00 pm until 8:30 pm Monday through Friday.  Practices start the second week of April.  No Saturday practices as not to conflict with Dublin Soccer League or DYA Lacrosse program games.   Games are played beginning at 6:00 pm or 6:15 pm Monday through Friday and all day Saturday.  Sunday afternoons are reserved for make-up games or practices.  Game schedule generally begins the third Monday in May and continues through the second week in July for Coach Pitch and the first week of July for other softball leagues.   Some Saturday afternoon/evening games in May beginning first week in May.  

There will be no games scheduled July 4th in observance of Independence Day.  

Tournaments begin after the end of the regular season and continue through the third Saturday in July, depending on weather.  

Program Fee:  See application for each respective league's fees

Fees includes team shirt, hat, and 2-in-1 stirrup socks.  Pants are sold separately and are available at the office.  Each Coach Pitch Softball player receives an individual participation trophy.  In all other softball leagues the teams play year-end tournaments.  Tournament winners and runners-up receive individual trophies.
