Diamond Dreams - Orono Youth Softball & Youth Baseball Gala!

Orono Youth Softball & Orono Youth Baseball has been a cornerstone of our community, providing young athletes with the opportunity to learn, compete, and grow both on and off the field. As our programs continue to expand, so does the need for improved facilities.

We are launching a fundraising campaign to build new ball fields that will provide our players with safe, high-quality spaces to practice, play, and develop their skills. These fields will serve generations of athletes and create a lasting legacy for Orono’s youth sports programs. Please join us as we kick off the fundraising efforts for this amazing project!

Tickets can be purchased here. Please direct any questions to Sarah Meier (Sarah.m.meier@gmail.com) or call 612.703.8158.

10U/12U/14U Fall & Winter Training

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!
