We invite you to showcase your business and support Lincoln’s youth with a banner at the four-field Optimist Youth Sports Complex (OYSC). Activity continues to increase with over 1,000 games and practices scheduled during the past 2008 season. OYSC is a project of the 501(c)3 Star City Optimist Youth Foundation and is being developed with no tax dollars. Conveniently located at 5300 S. Folsom less than a mile south of the YMCA’s Wright Fields in
SW Lincoln, the complex is designed to provide safe, quality sports fields for the community. Local groups who have used the facility include the Junior Saltdogs; the Cyclones, Timberjacks,
Dodgers, Sox, and other Select Baseball Teams; Lincoln Pius X High School, UNL Club Baseball, and the Hispanic and Lincoln Adult Baseball Leagues. In addition, OYSC has been
host to Coach Mike Anderson’s Husker Baseball Academy, the Cornhusker State Games, the Triple Crown Sports tournament coinciding with the College World Series, and an annual Bike
Swap Meet.
