Who We Are
Old York Road Little League (OYRLL) is the officially registered Little LeagueTM for the communities of Elkins Park, Melrose Park, Wyncote, Glenside, and LaMott, in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia. Our home field is at Ellis A. Gimbel Park, part of the Cheltenham Township Parks system. The Park is located in Elkins Park, on Harrison Avenue between Cedar and Mill Roads.

OYRLL is a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers, through Old York Road Athletic Association, Inc. (OYRAA). For older players, OYRAA also operates a senior division, not affiliated with Little League TM, known as the Elkins Park Athletic Association. The current Officers of this qualified nonprofit corporation are:
Our charter territory is bounded by Cheltenham Avenue, New Second Street, Township Line Road, and Easton Road. Click here for a map of the charter territory. Under the governing rules of Little LeagueTM International, residents of a local league's charter territory should register only with that League, to promote parity and community participation among the Leagues.

Expanding programs and participation has marked recent seasons. Last year, about 400 children, from ages 5 to 16, enjoyed baseball through OYRLL and the EPAA senior division. OYRLL maintains a tradition of full participation and friendly teaching. Our commitment is to carry out the purposes stated in the OYRAA By-Laws:
  1. The objective of OYRLL shall be to implant firmly in its members the ideals of community, good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority.
  2. To achieve this objective, OYRLL shall provide a supervised program of baseball and softball. All members shall bear in mind that the attainment of exceptional athletic skill or the winning of games is secondary to the ideals specified in Section 1.
