THIS WEEK IN OYO | 12.29.2021

BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A WONDERFUL '22!

A new year means a new chapter, but at OYO it means a new season is quickly approaching, too! We have so much to be thankful for in 2021, and we're excited about what 2022 will bring you.

The past year was awesome. We achieved so much together as a team of players, families, coaches, team parents, fans, umpires, concession workers and board member volunteers. We could not have realized the success we experienced without one another, and we are confident the coming year will be even more amazing and spectacular. Until then, Happy New Year!

These are challenging times for all families. That's why we have partnered with Dick's Sporting Goods to be able to offer their Every Kids Sports financial assistance program to qualified families.

LET US HELP THIS SPRING!

SUPPORT OYO IN 2022 AS A SPONSOR!

Make your 2022 a successful business year while supporting the community, too! Since 2010, more than 350 local businesses have supported OYO through corporate and team sponsorships, generating more than $250,000. These donations helped OYO meet the league's increasing demands while mitigating the need for annual player registration fee increases.

However, our fundraising goal for 2022 has increased 50 percent over our record-setting year in 2021. All packages are offered on a first come, first served basis. 25 corporate sponsorships and 100 team sponsorships are available. Come be part of a growing league that patronizes our business supporters all season long!

COME MAKE THE CALL!

Come make the call! OYO maintains a high-quality umpire program aimed for adults and youth. Any individual age 11 (as of April 30, 2022) or older may apply and attend the pre-selection clinics. Umpires are supported through a detailed process that includes rules trainings, online exam, test reviews, mechanics clinics, attire and equipment support and on-the-field simulations.

We welcome new and returning umpires to step up the plate in 2022 and become part of the program. In particular, we welcome more youth who enjoy the game of baseball and softball and have many evenings and weekends free to help make the call! We offer competitive pay rates and memorable experiences for all umpires!

We are currently accepting head coach applications for our 2022 Rec Travel (All-Star) teams. We offer Red Storm teams in four age groups for softball players (based on age as of January 1, 2022) and Bombers teams in seven age groups for baseball players (based on age as of April 30, 2022).
