Here's a recent message from OYA President, Brian Gaspardo:
Hi Everyone,
The practice shirts and hats are finally in, and it's time to have our first summit of all the Warrior teams! All players along with at least one parent are asked to attend a meeting next FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27th AT 4 PM to receive the practice gear, meet the Board, discuss questions and plans for the upcoming season, and purchase Warrior gear for the coming season! The meeting will be at the Orland Park Civic Center adjacent to the Village Hall.
If you have a conflict and cannot attend, please let your coach know. If you have any specific questions in advance, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at oyawarriorsbg@gmail.com. We expect the meeting to last approximately an hour, and we will be covering a lot of ground, so please arrive at 4 PM sharp!
Thank you.
2011 Chicagoland Tournament Champions & 2011 Lombard Tournament Champions!

Remembering Walter Payton
November 1, 2009 marked ten years since the great Walter Payton passed away. So, why am I am I posting something about a football player on a baseball team's website? I think our players (or anyone for that matter) can learn much from how Walter Payton defined a winner:
“If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner…a winner is somebody who gave his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can…who has utilized every ounce of energy and strength within them to accomplish something. It doesn’t mean that they accomplished it or failed. It means they’ve given it their best. That’s a winner." – Walter Payton
As a tribute to Payton, the Chicago Bears prepared a video which you may view by clicking HERE. The extraordinary effort that Payton gave on the field is evident in many of these highlights.

Parents' Meeting
Our team's parents meeting will be held on November 20th at the Leberts house. You have probably already received an invitation from Anne Lebert to attend a team gathering at her home for that night. The gathering will start at 7:00 pm.
As long as we will have most of the parents together that night, I would like to gather at 7:30 pm for a brief (15 or 20 minutes) meeting to get everyone's input on some open matters. If you are unable to make the meeting, please be sure to call me so that we can discuss the items outside of the meeting.
