About OYO
Oaklandon Youth Organization, Inc. is an all-volunteer youth baseball and softball organization established in 1975. OYO provides youth baseball and softball recreational leagues for children, regardless of ability, under a “fairplay” atmosphere focusing on player participation, training, and development. OYO is a chartered National Babe Ruth Baseball League, for ages 13 and up, and is the area’s first official Cal Ripken Division Baseball League for ages 5 through 12.
This national affiliation affords our teams opportunities to compete in district, regional, and national competition, leading to a potential national championship. OYO plays and practices at the Veterans Memorial Park, the premier baseball and softball facility in the area, with eleven fields, three of which are lighted. We provide a full service concession stand and permanent, clean restroom facilities.
As OYO continues to grow, more volunteers are needed to continue to keep OYO as one of the best youth baseball and softball leagues in Central Indiana!
