Here is a checklist of items that players will need for their first practice:

- Helmet
- Bag/ Back Pack
- Protective Cup (for boys)

Once you hear from your coach, they will have more details on uniform accessories needed (pants, belt, socks). We will be having another 20% event in February before the games kick off!
UPCOMING CLINICS COMING SOON!!!
Dublin Little League will be hosting a catching, pitching, and hitting clinic for Baseball and Softball players Single A and above in February. Time and location are TBD. We will have more information soon!
LOWER DIVISION MANAGERS NEEDED
We are currently looking to fill 2-3 managers positions at the T-ball, Rookie, and Single A level. Our goal is to create a great experience for all players and coaches. It is vital to have manageable roster sizes at these levels, so the players get the reps they need, and coaches are not overwhelmed. We will be having a coach's clinic in February to assist in practice planning and simulate drills to make sure you are setup for success! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
