Seeking Nominations Today for the 2025 OYO Board!

 

Just as our amazing Fall Ball season begins and we enter our final months of our 50th year of baseball and softball, we are only two weeks away from taking the first step to beginning preparations for the 2025 Spring and Fall Ball seasons, along with our travel program, too. Yes, that’s correct! Next year begins on September 10 with the election of our 2024-25 OYO Board of Directors (and one-year terms for all commissioner/chairperson roless below start in November).

As a result of a significant expansion to the OYO Board of Directors — including a dozen new board positions established — our league needs more volunteers. If you enjoy giving back to the community, demonstrate amazing grace and patience with ballplayers and families, and desire to team up with fellow volunteers to have a lasting impact on all those who call OYO home for their baseball and softball experience, then the 2024-25 OYO Board of Directors is the place to be.

One of the largest local youth sports all-volunteer boards in Central Indiana, the OYO Board still has only six vacant positions needing volunteers like you. Nearly 55 board members have been secured for the 2024-25 term, so will you consider joining the board to make a difference in one of these final openings?

Come make a difference and improve the overall experience for all our ballplayers and families. The positions currently available for the 2024-25 OYO Board of Directors include:

 

Game Day Operations

Financial Management

Revenue Management

Get involved! Simply reply to this message or email the OYO President directly to let us know you’re interested. Then, we will help pair you with the role or need that best fits your interests.

So, why you? During the past 25 years, more than 300 individuals have volunteered their time and talents as board members to help ensure our ballplayers and families could truly enjoy their OYO experience each season. We are fortunate to have a very diverse board representing every aspect of OYO’s baseball and softball programs and stakeholders. We are not just board colleagues, but friends outside of OYO, too. Being a board member is fun and rewarding as each board member finds great satisfaction in rolling up their sleeves and jumping in the trenches to work with fellow board members who work tirelessly for the children and families of OYO. More importantly, we are just everyday moms, dads, coaches, team parents, fans and more — like you — who have a ballplayer or two playing at OYO.

We hope you will answer this call and make OYO the beneficiary of your volunteer service in 2025. Rest assured, nearly 2000 ballplayers from 1200 families will value the difference you make.

Thank you for your continued consideration and support! We appreciate your family choosing OYO as your place for baseball and softball!
