Parents can request that siblings be on the same team. Younger siblings may not be more than 6 months below the age grouping. You must indicate this on both forms. Children of the head coach and one assistant coach will be assigned to their team. REQUESTS TO PLAY FOR A SPECIFIC COACH OR BE ON THE SAME TEAM WITH A FRIEND CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.  

Information About Games

Weather permitting; each recreational team will play an 8-Game schedule at various locations in the Olentangy School district. Most teams play games on Saturdays, with some games on weekday nights and Sunday afternoons in order to complete all of the scheduled games. Rained out games are made up if field space is available, but there are no refunds if all games cannot be played. The Fall 2008 Season will start September 6th.

Lack of coaches is the primary reason that players are turned away. Please volunteer, we provide training and support. Register yourself as a coach on your family’s OYAA e-Reg account. Coaches meeting will be early August, details TBA.

Practices
 

Practice times and location are determined by the coach and are limited to two per week. Attendance at practice is expected so players can learn.

Registration begins June 1, 2008 – first come, first served!
The deadline for Fall 2008 registration is June 21, 2008. Players will be placed as space permits. No Guarantees.
