Winter Workouts Are Here! Here’s the Lowdown for the 2026 Sessions!
Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season capped off with a pleasant New Year’s celebration with family and friends. Now that 2026 has finally arrived, OYO is ready to kick off our programs for the year, too! And this starts with the Winter Workouts you registered your ballplayer for this winter — our first-ever workouts at the newly-renovated Bullpen at Lee Road Park.
To get you ready for the workouts at The Bullpen, which begin on Saturday, January 10, 2026, here are some FAQs. Of course, if you have any additional questions or need something more, less or different before the workouts begin, then just let us know.

Where is The Bullpen located?
After several years of facilitating workouts outside the Lawrence area, we’re bringing them back home. The Bullpen is situated within Lee Road Park at 6200 Lee Road, Indianapolis. Upon arrival, here are some notes:
- After entering Lee Road Park, drive until you see a gravel road on the right
- Drive slowly on the two-lane gravel road (recommend 10 mph speed limit)
- Park near the entrance on the west end of the facility (and do not park where you may block cars entering/leaving the area on the two-lane drive)
How should players dress for the workouts?
Players should wear clothes they would normally wear to a team practice. The facility is climate-controlled and should be reasonably comfortable, but we recommend players come prepared with a sweatshirt as needed.
What equipment does my ballplayer need and what should they wear?
We are asking every player to have their own helmet, bat and glove. In addition, your ballplayers should wear indoor practice attire, including tennis shoes or turf shoes. No cleats and/or spikes are permitted.
What’s not permitted at The Bullpen?
To help preserve the facility for all participants and age groups, we kindly ask each player and family to adhere to some basic guidelines including:
- No rubber cleats or metal spikes! (Players who wear cleats or spikes will not be permitted to participate until a pair of tennis shoes/turf shoes are available)
- No sunflower seeds
- No gum chewing
- Only clear drinks (e.g. water) in the workout area
- No throwing balls against the wall
- No aggressive use of ball carts or ball buckets
- Wear helmets at all times in the cages
Who are the facilitators in 2026?
All our sessions will be hosted by veteran OYO coaches. All sessions will be customized for each age group, and individual volunteer instructors will help players execute the drills being taught at the workouts. The facilitators per age group are outlined below:
- BASEBALL
- JRO-RB (Saturday) | Andre Beever, Rodney Younger
- JRO-RB (Sunday) | Heath Groves, Drew McCall, Rick Walther
- MB | Michael Houde
- SM-JBB | Heath Groves, James Oliver
- SOFTBALL
- 08U | Jenny Keve, Michael Keve
- 10U | Mark Wolfred, others tba
- 12U-14U/16U | James Enochs, Endiyah Gonzalez
Can more ballplayers register for this year’s Winter Workouts?
Yes. While we have formed wait lists for the Minor Baseball and Super Major/Junior Baseball sessions, all softball age groups and the Junior Rookie/Rookie session on Sunday evenings still has limited openings. New ballplayers can register directly online.
