2027 Spring Season

Thank you choosing OYO for your child’s baseball/softball experience. We appreciate your support this season.
About Spring Season
OYO offers two recreational seasons for baseball and softball. For all players 12 and under, our Spring program begins with practices in March and culminates with a double-elimination tournament for most leagues in late June.
In addition, our spring season offers a full scope of services and activities, including Opening Day Parade, team pictures, all-star games and more.
Our older ballplayers -- ages 13-16 -- in Junior Baseball and 14U/16U Softball follow slightly delayed schedules to accommodate middle school and high school schedules. In these instances, rosters are formed by May 1, practices begin in early May, games begin immediately after the Memorial Day weekend and seasons end in early July.
REMINDER! Softball Age Eligibility Follows September Cut-Off Date!
Our softball age eligibility is now consistent with most softball governing bodies. To better align with national softball associations, the 2027 Spring Season age cut off for each division is September 1, 2026. If your ballplayer wishes to move forward and play in the next division up, please make a “level up” request via email to James Enochs, OYO Vice President of Softball.

Registration Process
All families must complete and pay registration online to insure data accuracy and avoid lost forms or payments. Families are asked to complete their online registrations, paying via credit card.
Secure Transaction Process
LeagueApps requires all families to register and submit payment online while keeping your family’s personal information more secure than ever. No OYO Board Member or participant will ever have access to your account information, including credit card transaction detail.
Payment Plan
You no longer need to request a payment plan if you need extra time to pay your ballplayer’s fees. We have worked the payment plan option into the OYO LeagueApps Registration Process and you may now make installment payments via debit or credit card. You are required to pay a down payment at the time of registration. The payment plan will show a break down of your payments and their due dates, which are built into the system. All outstanding, prior season, balances must be satisfied in order to register for an upcoming season.
Scholarships
OYO encourages all kids to play ball, regardless of their financial status. We’ve simplified the process – you no longer need to print and email an application to request an OYO scholarship. Simply click here to complete and submit the request.
