Practice dates, times, and locations will be selected by coaches about one week prior to the start of the season. Matches are on Saturdays at 12:00 PM at Karrer Middle School beginning April 6. The season is scheduled to conclude on May 18.

Middle School Division: Teams are scheduled for approximately 27 practices and 13 matches against neighboring communities plus a postseason tournament. DYA Middle School Division teams compete as part of the OCC Middle School Boys Volleyball League. Practices and home matches are held on weeknights at Dublin City Schools gymnasiums. Away matches are played in nearby communities. Teams practice 4-5 weeknights per week beginning the week of February 19.

Matches are played at Dublin middle schools and high schools. The regular season is tentatively scheduled to conclude on May 8. This division is limited to the first 30 boys registered (3 teams of 10 players). If more than 30 boys register, a wait-list will form and we'll explore options on adding a fourth team if there is enough interest.
