MAKE A DIFFERENCE! JOIN THE 2025-26 OYO BOARD!

Make a difference at OYO by sharing your time and talents with all 1300 families and 2000 players, who call OYO home for their baseball and softball experience every spring, summer and fall!
 
Even though, we’re not even halfway through the calendar year and the Spring Season is not yet complete, it’s never too early to look ahead. We’re less than 90 days away from our 2025 Elections at OYO — and the task is just as daunting as ever when you consider there will be approximately 60 openings. While we anticipate a strong retention rate in 2026, we’re already forming the board slate for next year knowing we enter the elections with at least 10 vacant positions on the board.
 
Want to get involved now? There are 10 opportunities!

If you are looking to get a head start on your volunteer service on the board, we have the following 10 openings and simply send an email to learn more:

  • Development Co-Chair
  • Equipment Co-Chair
  • Grounds Co-Chair
  • Registration Co-Chair
  • Scheduling Co-Chair
  • Uniforms Co-Chair
  • Ways and Means Co-Chair
  • All-Star Softball Commissioner
  • Full-Time Travel Baseball Commissioner
  • Vice President, Travel Baseball

 

Now back to recruiting for the 2026 OYO Board Term!

So, more than ever, we’re seeking volunteers to eventually join OYO’s 50-position, 60-member Board of Directors — making it one of the largest youth sports all-volunteer board of directors in Central Indiana. If you enjoy giving back to the community and teaming up with friends from throughout OYO to create memorable experiences, then the 2026 OYO Board of Directors will be the place to be.
 
What’s the reward of being an OYO Board Member?

Being a board member is an honor and a privilege at OYO. We are fortunate to have a very diverse board. We have board members who have been involved for nearly 25 years and some as recent as last fall. We have board member representation from baseball and softball. We have some many from the rec league and some from the travel program, too. We have a nice balance between moms and dads, aunts and uncles and we also have a blend of those with children participating in the league and those who don’t and just enjoy giving back to a program that supported their family over the years.
 
So, why not you?

Dating back to our records from as early as 2002, 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. These are not just board colleagues, but friends outside of OYO, too. Being a board member is fun and rewarding, too. 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 and dads — like you — who have a ballplayer or two playing at OYO.
 
So, why not now?

Just simply email the OYO President to express your interest in learning more about joining the OYO Board of Directors. Then, we’ll work with you to pair you with the role or need that best fits your interests. The chart below highlights the overall composition of the new board of directors organizational structure.
 
Elections for the 2026 OYO Board of Directors is Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at Jenn Park.

Thank you for your continued support and choosing OYO as your place for baseball and softball. Now, we hope you will answer this call and make OYO the beneficiary of your servant leadership efforts in 2026. Rest assured, more than 1300 families and 2000 ballplayers will greatly appreciate the difference you make.
