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.
