Coach at OYO
OYO depends on our volunteer coaches to help create a memorable and positive experience for all our young ballplayers. It is a rewarding experience for coaches as well.
If you’re interested in being considered for a head coach position for any of our baseball or softball travel or rec league programs, then you must complete the online coach application, background check, and acknowledgement of responsibilities before any selection is considered final. Assistant coaches do not need to complete this online application process.

The manual focuses on tips, fundamentals, practice drills and more for:
