Olney Boys and Girls Community Sports Association

What Olney Boys and Girls Community Sports Association does

Olney Boys and Girls Community Sports Association (OBGC) is a Maryland-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1969 that operates a community youth sports organization serving more than 7,000 children annually across Montgomery County. The organization delivers recreational (house) and competitive (travel) programs in baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, flag football, field hockey, basketball, wrestling, rugby, and supporting preschool clinics, hosted on its 118-acre OBGC Community Park at the historic Falling Green farm plus Montgomery County Public Schools gym facilities and affiliated league partners.

Revenue is generated through per-sport registration fees (typically $125-$290), travel program fees, team registration for hosted tournaments ($500-$900 per team), a multi-tier corporate sponsorship program (Gold/Silver/Black with 13+ named local sponsors), summer camp tuition, financial aid-related donations via PayPal, and an Athletic House fan store. The organization is almost entirely volunteer-staffed, with only three paid roles disclosed (Executive/Athletic Director Brad Scott, Director of Accounting Pam Ryan, Registrar/Administrator Kim Zelo), and a Board of Directors chaired by Jeremy Colville. Marketing is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, the website, Constant Contact newsletter "The Playbook," Facebook/Instagram, and local earned media (DC News Now, Bethesda Magazine).

Operational platforms include the Demosphere/Ottosport online registration system for self-serve sign-ups and payment processing. Recent strategic milestones (all 2025) include a merger with SSAA, an Under Armour apparel deal, indoor facility access for baseball/softball, record enrollment, and grants from CHAMPRO Sports and Gatorade. A formal Financial Aid/Scholarship Program accepts MCPS FARMS, SNAP, or Medicaid documentation, covering registration minus $50 per child per house sport.
