OBGC House Baseball

Fall 2020

OBGC offers house baseball for boys and girls in school grades kindergarten through eighth grade. There are six different age/grade divisions, most being two year programs. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we will be running modified fall house baseball leagues with smaller teams and instruction based unless current regulations are eased.

All baseball divisions are open to boys and girls. All games and practices are held within three miles from the center of Olney (Rt. 108 and Georgia Avenue).

Birth dates are not relevant when registering for OBGC house baseball. Leagues are formed based on the school grade which the child is enrolled.

Coaches: We are always looking for good coaches for our children. All head and assistant coaches are required to pass a mandatory background check and participate in a computer NYSCA training course. Our coaches are the backbone to all of the Club's programs and whose attitude and approach are appropriate for the level and goals of any particular sport.

Equipment: Due to the covid-19 virus we will closely be monitoring the use of equipment throughout our leagues. Parents will need to provide equipment for their child(some equipment may be for sale by OBGC). Equipment includes- batting helmet, bat, glove
