Oak Hills Youth Athletics

Registration for boys/girls basketball for grades 3rd-6th is now closed.  If your son/daughter would like to play but missed general registration, please email bthomas@ohyouthathletics.org to be placed on a late registration list.  

New teams will not be created, but we will attempt to fill all open roster spots per grade on a first come, first serve basis up until the first practice in November.

 

7/8th grade rec teams:  

 

Registration will open after Oak Hills Middle Schools- Bridgetown, Delhi and Rapid Run- announce tryout dates for their 7th/8th grade school teams.  These teams are completely independent of OHYA. Registration will open until after middle school teams have finished their selection process to provide each player equal and ample time to register to play on an OHYA recreational basketball team.  

 

7/8th boys- first 20 registrations will be placed on teams.  Additional registrations will be placed on waiting list. (Registration dates to be announced) Maximum number of players is 10 and minimum number of players is 8 for a team to be formed.

 

7/8th girls-  interested players please email bthomas@ohyouthathletics.org with player first/last name, parent guardian first/last name, phone number, email address and grade. We fully intend to have teams for this group. But due to low registration numbers over the past few years, we are trying to avoid early registrations that may require refunds if numbers do not reach the minimum. Recent requests have been received and were supplied email reply confirmation.

 

All teams must have volunteers to coach for any level of teams to be formed. Please send an email to bthomas@ohyouthathletics.org if interested along with the age group of players you’d like to coach.

High School:

 

OHYA WILL NOT BE forming teams for high school players (9-12th grade) for the 2020-2021 season.

 

Little Dribblers:

Season does not begin until February 2021 and we will supply information regarding this league as well as registration dates as we approach the end of 2020.

 

REFUND POLICY: If any part of the season for which you are registering is canceled or shortened for any reason, you may be eligible for a refund as circumstances warrant.  If it is determined by OHYA that all or a portion of the registration fee will be subject to a refund, the amount to be refunded will be the amount of the registration fee paid, minus any expenses, fees, or other costs already incurred, committed, or otherwise paid by OHYA, as of the date the season is canceled or shortened.

 

Due to State mandates and requirements surrounding Covid-19:

 

Rec teams will be formed by OHYA Basketball Committee Members based on team rosters from the 2019-2020 season or by schools attended. Depending on the number of registrations and player registration dates, it is possible for players to be placed on teams in their area but not from same school. As in previous years, requests for players to be placed on specific teams or with specific coaches will not be approved.

 

A decision on the start date of the season will be announced by our league (CPYBL) in the coming days. The two options include a normal start date which is within the first week of December or there may be a slight delay with games beginning in January after the holiday break. We will still plan for practices to begin in November but all announcements will be posted and emailed to registered players and coaches.

 

At this time, only 1-2 adults will be permitted to attend OHYA regular/post season games.  No children will be permitted to attend games. Masks must be worn by spectators during games at all times.  Players/coaches/spectators are not permitted to enter gyms until the previous team(s) vacate the gym after their practice/game. Instructions on this process will be provided before the start of the season.  Coaches and Players on bench must wear masks at all times while in the gym. Spectators must wear masks at all times while in the gym.  No Food or Beverages will be permitted in gyms except for individual player water bottles.  No spectators will be permitted in gyms during practices for any age group. Changes and/or additions to these mandates will be announced and posted as they are received by the state, schools or league.  OHYA does not control these mandates, but we must follow them in order for there to be a basketball season. Please do not send emails with complaints or suggestions.

 

Thank you,

OHYA Basketball
