Welcome to Durham Softball!
Durham Softball is a charity co-ed adult softball league in Durham, NC. The league is managed by Play NC, a 501(c)3 non-profit that hosts sports and games for charity. Our league has partnered with local non-profit organizations and businesses to create a fun, competitive, and rewarding softball league. All proceeds from the league are donated to our partner charities and teams will compete during the season to earn a larger share of the donation pool for their charity. The more the team wins, the more their charity will receive! You can sign up as an individual or bring a group. Just bring a glove and have fun helping raise money for worthy local causes!
- In our inaugural 2018 season, 227 players helped us raise $2,800 in cash donations for our sponsors.
- In 2019, we had 492 players and $4,400 in cash donations.
- In 2020, we had to cancel the entire season due to COVID, but still raised $6,400 for charity thanks to generous player donations!
- In 2021, we had 387 players and raised $3,838 in cash donations.
