In response to parent concerns around SAFETY and HYGIENE, DYS is requiring that all players in grades 3 and up supply their own helmet for the 2010 Spring Season. This will ensure each player wears a helmet that fits snugly, providing the maximum protection to the player without obstructing her vision, and is clean and trouble free.
To qualify, all softball helmets must:
- have two ear flaps
- have a face mask (NOCSAE® approved for softball use only)
- have a chin strap
- fit the player snugly (so that it does not slide down & impede vision)
To help lower the cost, and simplify the selection process of a helmet, DYS has reached an agreement with Shannon Thompson, owner of GO BIG BOARDING, on Saint George Street in Duxbury (near Far Far's). Stop by GO BIG BOARDING, tell Shannon you are ordering a helmet to play with DYS, and try on a sample for size. Pricing for helmets ordered through GO BIG BOARDING will be:
Rawlings Coolflo helmet, dark green and black, installed with a facemask and chinstrap, plus a pair of socks and vinyl number:
- One size fits all (6 1/2 to 7 1/2) : $39.99
- Junior Size (6 1/4 to 6 7/8) : $34.99
Helmets bought through GO BIG BOARDING must be fitted and ordered between Feb 5 and March 1.
Acquiring a helmet will be a prerequisite to play in the 2010 Spring Season.
Helmets purchased elsewhere must meet the above criteria.

Go Big Boarding also has discounted prices for DYS players on batting gloves and sliding pants. Ask when you stop in!!!
