Fall OYA Softball 2025

Ooltewah Youth Association offers Softball for girls ages 5 to 13. The season begins with practices in mid-August and ends with an end of season tournament the last weekend in October. In addition to Rec softball, we also offer Club softball for girls who want to play tournaments.

In addition, OYA hosts an annual fall softball tournament, which all OYA teams are expected to play in. The tournament date is TBA. Also, look for information about our annual fall kid pitch clinic (for girls wanting to learn basic pitching mechanics) and a fall jamboree.

All players move up a year in the fall. The age group a player plays in is determined by their age on January 1, 2026. For example, if your child is currently 8 and will turn 9 on December 13th, she will move up to the 10u age division, because that is where she will be next spring. Players CANNOT play down. For example, if your child will turn 11 on December 28th, she CANNOT play in the 10u division. She has to play in 13u. The easiest way to explain this is by birth year:

6u - 2019 & 2020
8u - 2017 & 2018
10u - 2015 & 2016
13u - 2012, 2013, 2014

Teams generally play two games a week, one home game on Tuesdays and one at a nearby ballpark on Thursdays, and an occasional Monday. The regular season consists of about 12 "Scenic City" games spread over the course of 7 weeks.. In the fall, these are done in a Jamboree style setting, where both games will be played on a Saturday.

A NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION DEADLINES: There are a limited number of roster spots, based on available coaches/teams. Once all spots are gone, register for the waitlist to reserve a spot and you will be contacted when one opens. Do not wait until the "last" day of open registration to sign up.

General registration is open until 9:00 p.m. on August 9th -- but may close sooner in age groups where we reach a maximum number of players. Don't wait until the last minute to secure your daughter's spot!
