2025 DYC Fall Girls Softball

2025 Fall Season

The softball program provides girls, ages 4 - 12 of all abilities, an opportunity to learn and enjoy this exciting and rewarding sport. In addition to learning the game, kids will also learn how to be part of a team, communicate and problem solve with their peers, learn respect for their teammates, coaches, opponents and umpires, and begin to build leadership skills. Softball, like many sports, gives kids an opportunity to make new friendships which may last a lifetime!

2025 Fall Baseball

Fall Baseball Pinto League!  This coed league is for kids aged 6 through 8, and will run from the end of August through mid-October, with games occurring mostly on the weekends.  

The league will be modified kid pitch, similar to pinto 8u, with expanded rules.
Game play will be 5 innings or 1 hour 45 Minute games, whichever comes first.
Players that have had little to no exposure to kid pitch will get the opportunity to become more comfortable facing player pitch against their peers. There are no walks and a coach will pitch and continue the at bat.
During coach-pitch, the batter gets a maximum 3 pitches if the ball is not put in play after the 3rd ball pitched the batter in called “Out.”
Scores are kept, and while competitiveness is a part of it; skill development, good sportsmanship, and having fun while learning the basics of baseball is the goal of our league.

Age will be based on your baseball age as of 05/01/2025.

Game will be held on the Tues, Thurs, and weekends. There may also be practices held during the week based on coach.

Games may be played in and against neighboring towns.
