Registration ends Tuesday, November 10th. NO late registration will be accepted! If the league is unable to accommodate all interested Oak Knoll students, then registration will be based on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Practice times will be determined by the coaches. Teams will be formed once registration is closed. Every effort will be made to make balanced teams. Accommodations cannot be made for scheduling conflicts.

Volunteers are needed to support the teams and make the program viable. Please volunteer for one of the following: 1) Coach, 2) Assistant Coach, 3) Scorekeeper, 4) Practice Helper, or 5) Team Parent (organize snacks after games and year-end party). All coaches and assistant coaches must fill out a separate registration for themselves on the Sportabilty website.

Coaches are expected to attend a mandatory coaches meeting on November 18 at 7:00 p.m. to form the teams. In addition, attendance is highly encouraged at a specially sponsored Oak Knoll coaches’ clinic on December 2nd at 7:00 p.m. which will cover skills, drills and practice outlines. Both meetings will be held at the Oak Knoll multi.
