Programs offered by Mason Youth Organization
Mason Youth Organization’s (MYO) mission is to provide a safe environment for anyone, regardless of skill level or ability, from age 4 thru 18, a place to play baseball and softball. MYO is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. The purpose of the organization is to serve as an overseeing body for baseball and softball programs with a goal of serving the youth in the Mason and Deerfield township communities. Currently, there are 3 subsidiaries under the MYO umbrella, Mason Little League Baseball, Mason Youth Softball and Mason Challenger.
MYO is proud to offer a variety of programs to accommodate the baseball and softball needs of the Mason community. See descriptions of all MYO programs below.
Tee-ball is offered for boys & girls 3-4 years old. Boys 5-6 years old play in the 6U division, which is a combination of machine pitch and hitting off a tee. Seven year olds then play in 8UA where it is all machine pitch. Eight year olds play in 8UAA where it is half machine pitch and half kids pitch. Then starting at 10U it is all your traditional kids pitch Little League Baseball. The 8U divisions and up all have a post-season tournament in the middle of June followed by an internal All-Star game, which is usually the third or fourth weekend of June. Near the end of the Spring season, players in the 8U divisions and up are eligible to try out for the D9 All-Star team to compete in the Little League Tournament.

The Challenger Division of Little League is a program for youth with physical and developmental challenges, helping them to enjoy the full benefits of Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities. More than the skills of baseball learned through the experience, the value of the Little League Challenger Division is found in the proven therapeutic and socialization benefits of participating in sports, the strengthening of participants’ self-esteem, the opportunities to mainstream into other divisions of play, and the disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play, which are hallmarks of the Little League program. The Little League Challenger Division provides the framework so Little League programs may offer a structured, athletic activity for all youth in their communities. Playing with the same equipment on the same fields, Challenger Division participants have the opportunity to experience the joys of pulling together as a team, being cheered, and earning awards for their achievements.
