Beginning on August 15th, we are excited to announce that registrations for girls sports, including Lightning Travel Basketball and Girls Rec Basketball, will now take place on our new website, www.orlandyouthassociation.org. This unified platform will offer a seamless, streamlined experience for parents, athletes, and the community.

Continuing Girls Rec Volleyball Registrations

Please note, if your daughters are currently registered for Rec Volleyball, you will continue to utilize www.oyagirls.com to keep track of schedules, updates, and important information related to the volleyball program.

Let's come together to elevate our game with the Lightning Girls Travel Basketball Program. It's more than just basketball; it's about growth, competition, and community. See you on the court!

The OYA Girls Program is a Non-Profit organization designed to provide young girls of Orland Park the opportunity to play ball. We are the largest girls recreational program in the state of Illinois.  We have three different sports programs - Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball.  Because of the size of our organization, we continue to pull in girls from Orland and the surrounding suburbs. 

The OYA Girls Program is an in-house Recreational League and is most focused on the instruction of the game.  Although this is an instructional league, the girls always put forth efforts that create some very competitive games, especially as they learn and develop their skills.

The OYA Girls Program is run by volunteers and is supported by both the participants and donations from businesses in and around Orland Park.

We welcome and encourage your involvement.  To participate with any of our programs, or offer support to the program, please contact us at OYAGirlsinfo@yahoo.com
