OMBAC HISTORY
OMBAC's
official beginning was 1954, but its roots sprouted years
before. From friendships of the late 30s, 40s and early 50s, the
spirit and attitude of OMBAC evolved in Old Mission Beach. The
common denominator was a strong desire for having fun!
The
Old Mission Beach Rats sponsored volleyball tournaments that
soon needed better organization to compete for playing dates
with Los Angeles beaches. So, in 1954, the Old Mission Beach
Athletic Club was born. The original membership was less than
twenty and the annual dues were the same for over forty years.
OMBAC sponsored volleyball events, coached youth flag football,
had its first Coming Out Party and Over-The-Line Tournament. All
was good until 1958 when the Old Mission parking lot closed, the
lifeguard station moved, and members had no central meeting
place. The Club drifted apart until a new location was
established in South Mission.
In
1964, the Club reorganized and a new vitality and determination
was kindled. The Over-The-Line Tournament had survived because
of a few die-hards.
Presently, OMBAC is continuing to enjoy the respect and
admiration of the community. Focused on serving amateur sports
and youth athletics OMBAC enjoys unmatched leadership. If not
for the dedication of its members and the unselfish gift of
their time, OMBAC would no longer exist.
Too bad WE NEVER HAVE ANY FUN!
