Rainout Policy

OYO Knows: Rainout Policy 

 

At OYO, we truly enjoy seeing all our ballplayers and teams take the field for practices and games. The sounds the ball snapping into a glove, a crack of the bat on a big hit, cheers from players and fans and the traditional end of game handshakes warm our hearts each and every day.  

 

That said, sometimes Mother Nature has other plans for those who enjoy being outdoors and around the game of baseball and softball. And, with that comes inclement weather. Sometimes, it happens late enough before games begin that fields simply can’t recover in time, even if the sun is shining at game time. 

 

As much as we want to play, we also value player safety. And in those unfortunate moments where we cannot even begin to ask your children to come play on the fields due to saturated conditions, it is a difficult call for us to make. We promise that when we can play, we will play.   

 

Please keep in mind, the OYO Rainout Policy. Since 2007, our game schedule format accommodates rainouts. How? Simply, we always include in the schedule two or three more games (based on division) than the targeted number of games to be played for every team in every division. For example: 

• Tee Ball and Challenger is scheduled for 14 games, with goal of playing 12 

• Junior Rookie is scheduled for 12 games, with goal of playing 10 

• All other divisions are scheduled for 14 games, with goal of playing 12 

 

We understand each and every family maintains a busy and hectic schedule every spring, so this scheduling format allows your family to plan for your entire regular season game schedule upfront and not need to scramble to accommodate rescheduled games this spring. 

 

We truly and genuinely value your understanding and flexibility. As always, thank you for choosing OYO as your place for baseball and softball.
