Hey batter batter, swing… with our youth baseball program. We have programs for children of all ages, allowing them the opportunity to grow their love of sports in a fun and active environment.
Our youth baseball program focuses on skill development through coaching from our volunteer coaches for athletes ages 5-18. Children will learn the ins and outs of baseball while practicing hitting, batting, and pitching techniques.
We create a supportive environment where young athletes can build lasting friendships and learn the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and dedication.
We offer two main seasons for recreational baseball.
- Spring season runs from February until May
- Fall season runs from August to November
If you need to reach the baseball director, please email BaseballDirector@OakleafSports.org
