For those players interested in playing baseball next season, OYA will be offering a number of options:
The 15U Warriors will be managed by Jeff Kosiek. Similar to our team's approach to this season, the 15U team will provide a development program during the Winter which should help prepare players for their High School tryouts. The team will play in some tournaments and will participate in either the SWILA Colt or SWILA Colt Select League--depending upon the talent assessments at tryouts. The tryouts are scheduled for August 6th at 7th at Centennial #4 from Noon until 2 pm.
The 16U Warriors will be managed by Dennis Bresingham. This team participated in the SWILA Colt Select League in 2011. 15 year olds are eligible to play for this team. The tryouts are scheduled for August 13th and August 20th at 10 am at Centennial #4.
If a player does not make either of the above teams, he may still participate in the OYA SWILA Colt League. OYA currently hosts two Colt SWILA teams for 15/16 year old players. Participation on these teams does not require a tryout.
Please continue to monitor the status of these teams on the OYA website. And, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding next year's options.
