Ohio Valley Youth Baseball League

Coaches are free to move games as long as both teams agree, there is an open field, and an ump.  Absent games cancelled/postponed for weather, teams do not have to agree to move games. One text should be sent to OVYBL President copying both coaches agreeing to the move.

For all divisions except Pony, no regular season game can occur after June 12, 2026.  Playoffs will start on June 15, 2026.  For Pony, no regular season games can occur after June 19, 2026.  Playoffs will start on June 22, 2026.  All playoff games will be on  weekdays.

All complaints and protests must go through association presidents.  For each communication not sent by a president, a response will be given that as stated on the OVYBL website, please submit first to your association's president.  

In all divisions, teams must have 5 or more wins to make the playoffs and players must play in 4 games to play in playoffs. 

In addition to trophies, 17 tickets to the Sunday, July 12, 2026, Pirates v. Brewers game at PNC Park will be given to the first and second place teams in each division.  Teams will be responsible for their own travel, parking, and expenses at the ball park.  There also can be no exchange of games.  If teams need more then 17 tickets, these tickets can be bought for $25 each by requesting the same by email to ovybl@yahoo.com.  For players that have conflicts, the manager of the first and second place team will make the decision on how to the ticket.  If other teams would like to attend the game as a group to celebrate the Spring 2026 season, the tickets will also be $25 each and will be distributed to the team's coach.  The coach of the team just has to send an email to ovybl@yahoo.com indicating how many $25 tickets the team would need.  The 17 tickets and any purchased tickets will be given to the team's coach one week before the July 12, 2026, game.  A suggestion would be for teams to plan to go, get a head count on needed tickets, and if the team is in a championship game, 17 tickets will be free.  Otherwise, it will be a great way to celebrate the season.
