Our Program

Senior baseball at OVYL is for boys ages 13 – 15 who live in the Oley School District. There are two teams: Western Berks Junior League and Junior American Legion. The Western Berks team is a competitive instruc-tional league primarily for boys moving up from the 11 and 12 year-old major league and for boys who could use a little more basic instruction and experience in base-ball before moving into the Junior Legion. Players on the Western Berks team must play in every game. The Junior Legion team is for boys ages 13 – 15 who have developed baseball skills and are ready for advanced play. The league rules do not require that players participate in every game, but the coaches strive to do just that. If you are interested in playing good com-petitive baseball, these are the teams for you. Both senior level teams play league games in Berks County with a few games as far as Morgantown and Schuylkill County on weekends. They also play tournaments. The games are played on full-sized fields with rules similar to major league.

Sr. Baseball Update

In the 2011 season the Western Berks team played for the league championship, falling just short of the title. They showed much im-provement and had a great time playing for the Youth League. Last year’s Junior Legion team also improved over the prior year with more wins and closer games. Many of these boys will move up to the Senior Legion level next year and have proven they are ready for it.
