ALl Star BOMBERS

UPDATED! 2025 All-Star Bombers Flyer

The Oaklandon All-Star Bombers offer a great transition from recreational league play to competitive travel baseball. For players ages 6 to 12, the program features local tournaments within an hour's drive, with manageable commitments and a challenging experience. 

 

Season Overview

The season begins after the recreational league concludes, running from April to July with local tournaments and games. Players will enjoy a competitive experience without full-time travel commitments. 

 

Eligibility

  • Only players who have participated in OYO’s recreational program can play for the All-Star Bombers. 
  • To be eligible for an age group, the player must not be older than the team’s age as of April 30, 2025.
