Yes, we went with a 6 game season (with a single elimination playoff) due the increased costs(all costs have skyrocketed refs, court time, our background check, insurance, teamsnap platform but we didn't want to compromise on what we offer), and plus the frequent changes in public policy better to have a short season.  We are a year round league and many of the participants play year round.  The shorter season is more conducive to the year round model.

Will there be double headers yes.   Timeline - Practices start the week of March 14.  Opening Night for the season is March 25th.  The season will end May 7th. Last regular season game will be April 30th .  Playoffs will be Friday May 6th and Championship Saturday May 7th.  Below are the actual game nights.

• There will be game nights every Friday and Saturday Night March 25 - May 7.
• League will not have a shut down period during the Spring Season for holiday breaks.
• Games on Fridays start at 5pm and Saturdays could start as early as 1pm.

*Depending on the number of teams Games on Saturday may start at 1pm.

The week of March 14th.  Practices will be at one of the following facilities AIM, MAP or one of the following middle schools Oak, Stanford, Stacey, Johnson, or Warner.  The practices will be offered once a week.  Practice is included in the individual participant registration fee.  Each team will receive 1 hour practice time per week. Practices are scheduled with the Coaches on a first come first serve basis.

There will be no shutdown period during the Spring Season.  Since our league participation is from so many different school districts there is no way to pick a week that works for all.

(i.e., how many players/ team can join) Up to 10 players can join a team but most teams will average out to have 9.  Coaches that bring in their own team can request and get approval for more than 10.

Alley-Oop strives to not conflict with major sports in the local area but sometimes it is unavoidable. In Spring games will be Friday nights and Saturdays.  So plenty of time for other sports!

We do take schedule requests from Coaches.  To help eliminate conflicts.  Coaches must submit requests via email and put "Spring Season Schedule Request" in the subject line.  Only one email will be read.  So do not send multiple and expect us to connect the dots.  If multiple emails are sent make sure the last email contains the full request.

Texts and phone conversations are not considered requests.

TeamSnap is the leading provider of online registration and web design for youth sports clubs and organizations.  Alley-Oop is making the switch to help improve the customer's experience.  Blue Sombrero was the previous provider and was not excelling in user interface and offering a functional app.  So to better serve the league we are making the switch.
