DYSA Competitive Program 2025!
The Davis Dynamite Prepares for Another Successful Season!
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.

To better align with the recent changes in age bands for USA Softball, this year the Dynamite season will shift from a winter tryout (with season running spring through the following late fall), to a summer tryout (with the season running from early fall through the following summer).
It is the intent of the DYSA Board to create Dynamite teams with a preference towards grade, however the subcommittee will consider a variety of criteria when forming teams, including, but not limited to, skill, sportsmanship, age, grade, maturity, team composition, player displacement, and family preference.
Players may try out for an older team if they feel that is best for them, however the board recommends that players try out for the team with their grade as follows:
16U/18U (HS age players): Players born between 9/1/2007 - 8/31/2011 (age 14+ on 8/31/2025)
14U: Players born between 9/1/2011 - 08/31/2012 (age 13 on 8/31/2025)
12U: Players born between 9/1/2012 - 8/31/2013 (age 12 on 8/31/2025)
11U (competing in 12U): Players born between 9/1/2013 - 8/31/2014 (age 11 on 8/31/2025)
10U: Players born between 9/1/2014 - 8/31/2016 (age 9 or 10 on 8/31/2025)
