DYSA Competitive Program 2025!
The Davis Dynamite Prepares for Another Successful Season!
In preparation for our 2024 competitive programming, we will be holding a few open practices in late fall 2023 with the Davis Dynamite teams (10u, 12u, 14u and 16/18u)!
You will have the chance to ask questions, meet the coaches,
discuss the upcoming season and better understand the competitive programming we offer in Davis!
What is the Davis Dynamite Program?
Our Davis Dynamite program is a collection of our competitive teams that DYSA offers to players in the 10u, 12u, 14u, 16/18u age division.
This competitive tournament ball experience supports our community without the extensive cost or travel of a traditional Travel Ball program.
We offer a spring, summer and fall competitive season (practices start in February and run through July) with tournaments hosted in the greater Sacramento region. Additional tournaments are optional if the team decides to play through the summer & into the fall.
