Support the Youth League

At the Oley Valley Youth League, we believe in the power of play to shape confident, healthy, and resilient young athletes. Through inclusive, skill-building programs and a supportive team environment, we provide youth with opportunities to grow both on and off the field. Our dedicated volunteer coaches and support staff work tirelessly to ensure every child in our community has access to quality sports experiences that foster teamwork, discipline, and lifelong friendships.

As one of the only youth facilities in Berks County to be completely funded by sponsors and families, (we do not receive grants or funds from local government agencies) the OVYL is entirely dependent upon generous local business and community members to continue our mission. Please join us as we work to build a stronger, more community-connected future—one game at a time.

This includes attending regional league meetings, new regulations are implemented, setting registration fees and teams, and coordinating games and tournaments. Being a commissioner can be time consuming, to thank these dedicated volunteers, commissioners are entitled to free sport registration for the duration of their service. If you are passionate about a sport, consider becoming a co-commissioner to help build the program! Reach out to the current commissioner of your preferred sport for more information.

As a thanks you, support staff will be reimbursed the registration fee of one child in the associated sport at the end of the season. Please reach out to the sport commissioner for more details about open positions. These roles and responsibilities can include:

Donate

Oley Valley Youth League is proud to offer affordable, high-quality sports programs that help our kids grow, compete, and thrive. To keep registration fees reasonable for families, registration fees are used to cover essential costs like referees, league participation, and uniforms. However, we rely on the generosity of our community to help with everything else that makes our programs possible—field maintenance, equipment, and additional uniform needs. Your financial donation, no matter the size, directly supports the experience and safety of every child who steps onto our fields. Please consider giving today to help us continue building a strong, active, and inclusive youth sports community in the Oley Valley.
