- What’s the purpose and goals of OYR?
The By-Laws state our objective: "to implant firmly in its members the ideals of community, good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority." On the field, the best way to promote these ideals is through the primary goal of helping the children have fun playing organized baseball. - What about winning?
The By-Laws also state that "the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary to the ideals." We are committed to this philosophy. Our programs are designed to provide all our children the fullest chance to play, practice, and participate in the sport. We emphasize positive support so that all our children will enjoy playing baseball and benefit from the broad goals of Little League Baseball. - What should every parent do to promote this positive
philosophy?
The most important contribution each parent can make is to attend their children’s games and support their efforts. Please, if you have any complaints or criticisms, voice them to the coach or league officer privately.
