⚾ NEW LOCAL NONPROFIT LAUNCHES YOUTH BASEBALL PROGRAM
A newly established nonprofit organization is working to make youth sports more accessible for families in Collinsville, Owasso, Skiatook, and surrounding communities.
The Ashlar Sports Foundation, led by President Derek McCollum, was created to support young athletes, volunteer coaches, and recreational sports programs while helping bridge the gap between recreational and competitive athletics.
As part of that mission, the foundation is launching Ashlar Baseball, with 10U and 13U teams planned for Spring 2027.
⚾ NOW FORMING A 10U BASEBALL TEAM!
The organization is currently seeking players and families interested in a different approach to competitive youth baseball.
Rather than committing to tournaments nearly every weekend, Ashlar Baseball plans to participate in approximately 5–6 tournaments during the spring season, primarily in the Collinsville, Owasso, Skiatook, and surrounding areas.
The program will emphasize player development, fundamentals, arm care, baseball knowledge, and quality practices while allowing families more time together away from the ballfield.
Organizers say the goal isn't necessarily to recruit the most talented players, but to bring together young athletes and families who are willing to learn, work hard, compete, and grow as a team.
The program may be especially appealing to recreational players ready to explore tournament baseball, current competitive players seeking additional development, or families looking for a more manageable tournament schedule.
📣 An upcoming 10U tryout will give interested families an opportunity to learn more and potentially join the new team.
See the attached flyer for tryout information.
The Ashlar Sports Foundation hopes to become a valuable resource for youth athletics throughout the surrounding communities, creating more opportunities for children to participate, develop their skills, and enjoy the game.
