Yes, we offer 7 games minimum, a 6 game regular season (with a single elimination playoff).  We are a year round league and many of the participants play year round.  Also many of the participants are multisport athletes.  The six game regular season with a single elimination playoff tournament is more conducive to the year round model.

Will there be double headers yes.  There is potential for double headers.

Alley-Oop strives to not conflict with major sports in the local area but sometimes it is unavoidable. 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 "Winter 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.

Friday and Saturday Nights.  Friday games will be between 5-9:30pm.  Saturday game days may start before 5pm as early as 12pm if we have a high number of teams.  Also we do take schedule requests from coaches.  Coaches must submit requests via email and put "Fall 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.

Skill evaluations will be the March 5 at the MAP Sports facility. 1st thru 4th 6:00-6:30pm and 5th thru 8th 6:45-7:15pm. The details will be finalized towards the end of February and a communication will go out (to registered participants) confirming the details.

The commissioner will reachout to coaches to get them setup within 3 weeks of the start of the season.  After the coach registers in the system no actions are required.  Below are the following steps after the coach registers:
