What OYO Knows
Fall Ball
OYO is proud to offer one of the largest Fall Ball programs in Central Indiana, drawing players from a wide range of communities including New Castle, Kokomo, Avon, and Columbus. Since its inception in 2008, the program has grown significantly, now featuring over 70 teams and 800 players each season. The Fall Ball program provides a fantastic opportunity for baseball and softball players to hone their skills in a competitive yet enjoyable environment, while preparing for the upcoming season.
The program begins with practices in mid-August and runs through October, offering players a chance to practice once a week and participate in Sunday doubleheader games. The season culminates with a single-elimination tournament in October. All games and practices are held at OYO, and players are encouraged to register for the division they will participate in during the next Spring Season. The compact schedule makes space limited, so early registration is recommended for those looking to join this growing program. To learn more or to register click here.
Spring Season
Every winter, OYO opens its doors to baseball and softball players of all levels, offering a chance to shake off the winter rust and prepare for the spring season with our Winter Workouts program. Whether you’re a past OYO player, a prospective player, or just a ballplayer in the community looking for some off-season practice, these sessions are a great opportunity to work on fundamentals. We recognize that many players are busy with other sports and commitments during the winter months, but these workouts are designed to fit into your schedule and give every player the chance to improve.
Sessions are led by experienced OYO coaches and volunteers, with station coordinators ensuring each workout is focused on maximizing skill development. The sessions are organized by age groups and sport, allowing for more individualized attention and skill-building. All players are welcome to register, and it’s not required to play in the Spring season to participate. Don’t miss the chance to build confidence and get ready for the upcoming season with OYO’s Winter Workouts!
