Just posted: NEW Dubai & Abu Dhabi sport leagues, Oct-Dec 2009. Sign up now!

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: Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

A few things to note:

• 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!
• Are you looking to be an administrator or referee for a sport? Click here to apply. Get a chance to meet lots of people and get paid while doing it. Plus, there are a few other additional perks that we will let you know about once you are selected.
• Sponsorship. Does your company want to get involved in sponsoring DUPLAYS sports, leagues, or overall?  We’re looking for a few select sponsors.  Click here for more info.

See you on the court, field, or sand this season!
