DUSL Programs
DUSL offers a number of different playing opportunities for players of all different levels. Players are grouped by age categories (click here for the age group table for this year).
The Division 1, Division 3, and Super-8 programs require tryouts prior to team selection. At the tryout, players are evaluated in a group environment and selected to teams based on ability and need. Players not selected to Division 1, Division 3, or Super-8 teams are placed in a player pool and allocated to Division 4 teams.
Division 1 and Division 3 teams incur expenses beyond those covered by the standard DUSL registration fees. These teams typically use professional trainers and participate in fee-based tournaments throughout the year. In addition, Division 1 and Division 3 teams are required to purchase competitive team uniforms for use during the playing season.
The table below describes the programs offered by DUSL:
