New this season, OPYBS is using Crossbar instead of TeamSnap. If you haven't downloaded the Crossbar app to your mobile device, do that now! Rosters are in Crossbar. To sync the practice and game calendar, go to "Family Calendar" and click the cloud in the top right corner. You can also add family members under each participant. Use Crossbar to RSVP so coaches can plan accordingly. Please be patient as the league and coaches navigate this new app.
New this spring, OPRF Pony baseball has transitioned to OPYBS to create a streamlined process for baseball players in the community.
