Dear Orono Baseball and Softball Families,

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the inaugural Diamond Dreams Gala. Because of your incredible generosity, energy, and support, we raised over $75,000—an amazing start to building our fields.

Your presence made the evening unforgettable, and your contributions are already making an impact. While we’re thrilled with what we accomplished together, we know there’s still more to do—and we’re just getting started.

As we move forward, we’re creating a fundraising team and we need your help! If you’re interested in getting involved, please reach out to Sean Campbell - sean.soup79@gmail.com. 

If you weren’t able to attend but would still like to support our mission, we invite you to donate here: https://paybee.io/@osa-oba@5

Thank you for believing in our vision and being part of something special. Let’s keep the momentum going!

With gratitude,

OSA

Save the Date!

Orono Baseball and Orono Softball are coming together with our first ever Gala on Thursday May 1st! 

Proceeds support the future build of the baseball/softball fields in Independence.

We’ve got some exciting news for you and your 10U, 12U, and 14U softball stars! OSA is thrilled to offer a new way to keep the momentum going from summer and fall ball. This fall, we’ve partnered with Orono Westonka Soccer to secure time at the newly revamped Long Lake Dome!

Starting October 22nd, we’re rolling out Fall & Winter Training every Tuesday from 5-7pm at the Long Lake Dome. This is in addition to our usual clinics that start in January, so it’s a great way to keep those skills sharp while it’s getting colder outside!

During these 2-hour sessions, the girls will rotate through drills focusing on both defense and hitting. Pitchers and catchers will receive dedicated time to hone their skills in their specific positions. With access to turf and batting cages, they’ll have ample opportunity to practice, improve, and most importantly—have fun! We are pleased to offer this 18 hours of indoor training in the dome at a competitive price of $200!
