Some more notes
Want to pay by credit card? You can! Just goto http://DUPLAYS.com, login and click the link under “my leagues”. On the league page scroll down and click the large black button that says “update my league settings”. From there you can select PayPal and use a credit card to pay.
If you are an individual (you don’t know your team yet), your team shirts will be provided on day 1 of league play but payment must be made at one of the locations above in advance to secure your spot!
What if you don’t pay for your league before the start date? Your spot cannot be guaranteed until payment. Also, top choices for shirt sizes and colours may no longer be available. It’s best to pay this week. Make it a fun team night out!
Team Members All members of a team must sign up for the league online, to be eligible to play.
Why? All communications (last minute updates, scheduling, standings) are sent only to league members. Also, there is an online waiver that must be accepted in order to play.
Schedules, Rosters (Teams), Standings
Schedules and Rosters will be posted 48 hours before league start date (please check your starting dates on the league page, they may have been adjusted). Each league will send a mailer to league members only the night before games begin.

DUPLAYS “Fall Season” of adult recreational and competitive sports has now been posted. Leagues begin either next week or the first week of October so sign up NOW to secure your spot!
Every team that signs up for a sport this season will receive our new “DUPLAYS Sport & Social” team shirts (six team color options: green, yellow, black, white, blue, or grey). Shirts are included in your league fees. The earlier you sign up the greater the chance you will get your 1st color choice and size.
Leagues are either 8 or 10 weeks long, with teams playing 1 night per week. This means it’s your last chance to sign up for a social sport before we start up again in Jan 2010!
Select your city to jump to DUPLAYS leagues where you live: Dubaior Abu Dhabi.
Each week you will play in the same location (so please check location maps) and timings may or may not change each week (in order for you to play other teams).
League format is that each team plays ONCE a week for say 8-10 weeks. Some leagues (i.e. basketball, football, netball) will play one game per night during a 50-60 minute slot while other leagues (beach volleyball, touch rugby, ultimate frisbee, dodgeball) may play two or three games per night during a 60 minute slot.
If you are signing up as part of a set team, every team member (not just captains) must sign up for the specific league they are participating in this season.
Our leagues are for those looking to stay active and increase their social network. Although some of our leagues are competitive, the main goal of all DUPLAYS leagues is to bring you fun, affordable, well-organized social sport on your weeknights!
We have different levels of play (Recreational, Competitive) depending on your skill level. Pick what’s right for you.
Smile. The summer heat has ended and it’s time to play outdoors again!

It has begun! Duplays’ Dubai Women’s Basketball League started last night at the Dubai International Academy in Emirates Hills. A solid group turned out for the innaugural night and Duplays hopes to build the league every week, adding more teams and individuals. Already 2 new teams and several new women have contacted us to start playing next week.
Team #1: The Hawks, aka "The Founders"
Whether you play every week or haven’t played in years, the great thing about this women’s league is the opportunity to get back on the court and get a great workout in a friendly, social atmosphere. It was amazing to hear players tell us they hadn’t played organized full-court basketball in 3 years to 15 years! The time off didn’t matter as everyone eased back into the game, with confidence increasing on each possession!
Do you know a woman who wants to play weekly organized basketball? Thinking of joining yourself? Visit the Women’s Basketball League page for more details, or email basketball@duplays.com.
