Browse tryouts, guest play spots, and tournament fill-ins from coaches who are actively building rosters. See who's looking for your position in your area — and connect directly.
Travel softball is unregulated. Anyone can start a team, collect dues, and make promises they don't intend to keep.
Parents make big decisions — time, money, their daughter's season — based on information that lives in sideline conversations and group chats. A coach who has burned through three organizations is known to everyone who has been around long enough. New families find out the hard way.
Open Dugout is building the record. When coaches post events and teams, that history is public and persistent. When a coach has been affiliated with four different organizations in two years, that's visible. Not because someone wrote a review — because the record is there. Families who know to look will see it. Families who don't will learn to.
Most coaches are doing it right. They care about the kids, show up prepared, and build something real. Open Dugout exists so those coaches are easy to find — and so the ones who aren't have less room to operate.
