Yale alumni in the Washington, D.C. area participate in several recreational sports leagues as part of the Capital Alumni Network (CAN).  CAN is working on its comeback from its pandemic hiatus restarting co-ed softball and its October annual golf tournament in 2022.  CAN previously had basketball, flag football, soccer, and volleyball leagues, and we hope they will relaunch those sports soon. We encourage alumni to join and play, or at least come cheer us on as we take on alumni squads from over 70 other colleges!  

For more information on CAN, contact the Yale Club of DC member Sted Garber.  If you're interested in basketball, please contact Tsega Bekele who is maintaining a roster of interested Yalie's for when CAN relaunches basketball.

To comply with league rules, teams generally must be made up of at least 60% alumni, and no more than one former varsity player at a time.

Softball

The Softball season runs from April to August.  Games are played mostly on weekends and some Friday evenings on West Potomac Park, just south of the Jefferson Memorial or on the National Mall.  The CAN Softball playoff tournament is the cornerstone of the entire CAN year.  It takes place over two weekends in August at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Softball Complex.  

 For more information, contact captains: Sted Garber and Nahyun Cho.
