Adult Softball
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Dallas' adult softball program, the Dallas Softball Managers Association
(DSMA), offers competitive and recreational softball leagues for Men's, Women's
and Coed play at several different locations every night except Saturday.
Leagues are held during three seasons: Spring, Summer and Fall. Locations
include Samuell Grand, Fair Oaks, Churchill and the outstanding new softball
complex at Kiest Park. Several tournaments are also held throughout the year.
PROGRAM HISTORY
The DSMA was founded over 50 years ago to provide organized competition for
players of all abilities. Once a sport dominated by Men's teams, softball is
today almost equally represented by Coed teams. Over 500 teams currently
participate in leagues throughout the year. The DSMA is administered by the
City's Athletic Coordinator with the assistance of the DSMA Advisory Council.
PROGRAM GOAL
To create an interest in and promote amateur softball in the City of Dallas and
to encourage harmony and cooperation among its participants, officials and
spectators.
PROGRAM DESIGN
The Spring and Summer softball seasons each consist of 8 games over a 8-week
period, with a city championship tournament at the end of each season.
Tournament champions advance to the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF)
State Championship Tournament. The Fall season consists of 8 games over 6
weeks, followed by a playoff tournament. Leagues are offered in several
classifications, ranging from Competitive C (most competitive), to Class C,
Class C/D and Class D (recreational). Game times for league play are 6:45,
7:45, 8:45 and 9:45, and are distributed as evenly as possible among each
league's teams.
