Oak Park Falcons

Oak Park Falcons is an OPYBS-sponsored travel softball program.

Guidelines

14U and under players must play in OPYBS House League to be eligible.
Tournament schedule is driven by the House League schedule. House League commitments and participation remain the priority.
OPYBS will provide a subsidy to help defray the costs of participation.
Age and squad levels will be determined from year to year based on interest.
Off-Season Tryouts for 10U and older teams will take place in mid- to late July for the fall and following spring/summer season. Tryouts for 8U and 9U and full team practices will begin no sooner than March.
Roster spots are offered based upon coach’s selection after tryouts, and are not negotiable.
When possible selected tournaments will be within one hour and 30 minutes from Oak Park.
In most cases, tournaments selected will be over weekends – Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
This is competitive tournament play. Players are not guaranteed a minimum number of innings per game.
Participation in all in-season practices and tournaments is expected.
Participation in preseason OPYBS-sponsored open gyms and clinics is encouraged.

For the 2025/2026 season, we plan on having the following teams: 8U Green, 10U Green, Black and White, 12U Green and Black, and 14U Green.
Green and Black are our most competitive teams. White is a practice team and focused solely on development and reps.
New USSSA age rules will be used at the start of the new season (September 2025). New rules closely mirror ages used for grade level in school.
Tryouts for 10U, 12U, and 14U are on July 15th and July 22nd. Please use this link to register for tryouts: https://www.opybs.org/registration/41402
Tryouts for the 8U and 9U teams were held in May 2025.
8U/9U is fielding a practice team that will start in the fall of 2025. If you have any interest in joining, please email falcons@opybs.org.
