Tryouts will be held on February 2nd at 2:00 p.m. Register for free in the registration portal below.



This winter/spring, we will launch the Ooltewah Softball Club to provide experienced OYA players and coaches the opportunity to explore a more competitive environment, while maintaining their ability to learn and grow in a traditional recreational (rec) sports outlet.


Here's how it will work:

Teams will hold tryouts on February 2 to field a tournament team roster. Think of it like a pre-season or spring All-star team.

In order to be eligible for a club team, players must be currently enrolled in our rec program and/or have played at OYA in 2024. Players selected for club play will also be rostered on regular season rec teams and will play the Scenic City schedule with those teams, retaining their eligibility for summer All-stars.

Club teams will play in select tournaments between March and early-May. A handful of weekends in April and May will be blacked out, so regular season teams can play in Rec tournaments, if they choose. Blackout dates will include the Harrison (April 12-13), Ooltewah (April 26-27) and Scenic City End of Season (May 15-18) tournaments.

Each club team will be guaranteed practice time, scheduled by OYA, prior to the Rec season beginning. Once the Rec season begins on March 24, club practices will be limited, so as not to conflict with our Rec programs.

We plan to field teams in 8u, 10u, and 12u. Age groups are based on USA Softball eligibility, which runs from September 1 to August 31. Coaches this spring are:

8u - Dan Presbitero
10u - Haley Tipton
12u - Joe Legge

If you are interested in assisting with one of the teams, send a message to [email protected] for more information. 

Since club play is in addition to Rec play, there is an additional registration fee to cover uniform expenses, team entry fees for up to five tournaments, field space for practice, and insurance. You only pay this fee if selected for the team.

We’re excited to offer this outlet for our players and coaches to continue to grow.
