Oly what?

Hi! We’re the Olympia Sandlot Collective. We’re an adult wood-bat sandlot baseball league.

We're for everyone who wants to enjoy the game of baseball — inclusive of age (18+), gender, experience and skill level.

We prioritize community and camaraderie over competition. We swing wood bats and hit real baseballs. We award no trophies, and keep no stats. Never played before? Part of our core mission is providing baseball instruction to the public — for free.

There are no joining fees, team fees or league fees. We ask for five bucks whenever you can swing it, but no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.

We have a mailing list and a Discord, and we’d love it if you signed up.

Just fill out the form.

  • You! (Assuming you want to play baseball, and you’re over 18). Whether you played in the Show, or you’ve only ever played MLB The Show, you’re welcome here. All experience levels, all backgrounds — everyone.

  • Everyone is always welcome - just show up! Of course, we’d love it if you filled out the interest form first.

    If you’re having a great time, we encourage you to join a team! Just ask anyone at an event or in Discord how to get started.

  • Remember when you just showed up with your friends and a ball and you just… played ball? It’s that. Some weeks we might play a whole game. Some weeks it’s casual practice, followed by a beverage.

    We believe baseball is for everyone. We believe community is more important than competition. We believe it’s really important to get outside when it’s not raining.

    Oly Sandlot owes a great debt to the Carolina Sandlot Collective and the Sandlot Revolution from who we draw inspiration.

  • We play on full-sized baseball fields - 90 foot bases, 60’6 to the plate.

    Our 2027 teams and venues will be announced when finalized. In 2026, we played at Timberline HS and Capital HS’s JV baseball fields.

  • Sunscreen. Water. Sunglasses.

    Bring a glove if you’ve got one. If you don’t have one, let us know and we’l loan you one. If you’ve got spares you can share, bring ‘em.

    Bring a batting helmet (for safety), or be willing to wear a borrowed one (for safety).

    Wear whatever you’re comfortable moving in, and getting a little dirty. Most people wear a baseball cap, shirt, and pants. Cleats are handy if you’ve got them, but not mandatory.

  • We think it’s the realest baseball. We play by the Official Rules of Baseball, but we’ll be honest: they’re more like guidelines.

    But before any of that:

    1. Be cool.
      We’re playing to have fun. Nobody’s getting scouted.

    2. Winning isn’t everything.
      Heck, some weeks we might not even keep score. If this thought gives you hives, PSSBL is right up the road.

    3. Respect each other.

      …regardless of skill or ability. Some of us played ball in high school or college. Some of us are new to the sport. Everyone’s welcome here.

    4. We all gotta go to work in the morning.
      No intentional collisions. Give the runner a lane, don’t hit the fielder, no stealing home on wild pitches. In short, If it’ll give someone a concussion, don’t.
