Mason Youth Organization is a non-profit program established in 1983 to develop, organize, and promote recreational baseball and softball activities for the youth of Mason, Ohio.  MYO provides all participants the opportunity to practice and play the sport in local parks and supplies all necessary equipment.  As Mason has grown, so has MYO with almost 1,800 youth playing on more than 150 baseball and softball teams.  In 2009, MYO introduced an Opening Day Celebration, affiliated our boys’ Major League division (9-16 yr. olds) with Little League International, started a boys’ Friday Night Pick-Up Game League (9-12 yr. old) and added an 8U Girls Fastpitch division.  New to MYO in 2010, will be affiliating our boys’ Minor League program (7-8 yr. olds) division with Little League International, realigning our softball program, adding spring skills day camps to promote player agility improvement (in pitching, catching, fielding, hitting and base running) and player evaluations for Major League baseball (9-16 yr. olds) players.
