2. Dirtdogs Mission Statement
Central California Dirt Dogs goal is to provide the tools for each player to excel and develop into a complete softball player,  both offensively and defensively.  Create a student athlete with the proper mechanics and fundamentals to compete at the highest level, both academically and athletically.  We will provide each girl with the opportunity to achieve her fullest potential as an athlete and to  contribute to her development into a successful young adult.  The organization will actively pursue highly competitive levels of play in qualifying tournaments and college-exposure tournaments in order to promote the advancement of these players to softball teams at the college level
The Dirt Dogs were created in 2007.
In their short history as an organization, the Dirt Dogs have participated in many National Tournaments, attended some of the best college showcases, and have got their players recruited.
The History of the Dirt Dog Organization is not as long as some organizations in the Central Valley, but in a matter of a couple of years they have earned the respect of the softball community. With each senior class comes more commitments.
