WHEN WILL THE SEASON START AND END?

Team Rosters will be posted on November 18th with practices beginning the week of December 4th. January 6th will be the first game weekend. March 2nd will be the Final Tournament.

WHEN WILL OUR TEAM PRACTICES TAKE PLACE?

Your coach will have the practice schedule and it is also published in your LeagueApps portal for your viewing once rosters are final. Practices typically occur at either 6:00, 7:00, or 8:00pm on Mondays - Wednesdays. Younger divisions are typically earlier, while older divisions practice later. Each team will have 1 practice per week and 1 game per week. All practices will take place at Red Oak Middle School or Glenn Heights Community Center.

THE PRACTICE SCHEDULE FOR MY CHILDS TEAM IS NOT IDEAL. CAN I HAVE HIM/HER CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT TEAM?

Unfortunately not. All rosters are established through Evaluations by our Board of Directors and the Commissioner that enables equality in skill and competition along with each Coach's preferences. Practice schedules are created following roster assignments. We are unable to move players from teams due to practice schedule conflicts.

WHAT DOES THE COST OF REGISTRATION INCLUDE?

The registration fee that is paid to the league covers the players portion of referee fees, facility fees, overhead, and other costs the league incurs throughout the season. This fee also includes a custom jersey for each player. The only other cost that may be required is to purchase a practice basketball for your player, if he/she does not already have one. Please communicate with the league if you or someone you know has a financial need for assistance with registration or purchasing a practice basketball. Scholarships are available.

WHAT SIZE BASKETBALL DOES MY CHILD NEED TO HAVE?

Kindergarten - 1st Grade Boys & Girls - 27.5"

2nd - 3rd Grade Boys & Girls - 28.5"

4th - 5th Grade Boys & Girls - 28.5"

6th Grade Girls - 28.5"

6th Grade Boys - 29.5"

HOW MANY GAMES WILL MY CHILD PLAY IN THE SEASON?

Each team is guaranteed 7 regular season games, followed by at least 1 game in the single-elimination tournament at the end of the season.

CAN I PICK MY CHILDS JERSEY NUMBER?

Unfortunately not. With an estimated 300+ students registering this season, we would be unable to accommodate these requests.

WHERE ARE GAMES AND PRACTICES GOING TO BE HELD?

Facility commitments are still in the works but we always ensure that the players at Red Oak Basketball League are afforded the best quality facilities available in our area. Practices are typically held at either Red Oak Middle School, Ovilla Christian School, Glenn Heights Community Center, or First Baptist Church. Regular Season games are typically hosted at Red Oak Middle School. The final tournament will be hosted at The Fieldhouse in Duncanville, TX. Stay tuned for further details to come.

HOW MUCH WILL ADMISSION BE FOR SPECTATORS AT GAMES?

For the winter season, admission will be 4 dollars for regular games and 10 dollars for tournament games on the final week. However, you may pre-purchase a season pass for 28 dollars that includes all games and the tournament admission. We highly recommend this for convenience and to save a few dollars. Also this season, all students 17 years old and under will be FREE. So, no need to pay for admission for the students and children.

WILL CONCESSIONS BE AVAILABLE AT THE GAMES?

Yes. Full concessions will be available at the games. We encourage all of the players, coaches, and spectators to enjoy hot food, drinks, and snacks from the concession stand throughout the day. All proceeds go to further the mission of the Red Oak Basketball League.

WILL THERE BE PARTICIPATION TROPHIES FOR EACH PLAYER AT THE END OF THE SEASON?

No. However, there will be a Sportsmanship Award given to each Kindergarten/1st Grade Player. All other division players will receive a championship trophy if their team succeeds in the end of season tournament. Runner-Up Medals are also awarded to the second place team in each division.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL MY CHILD GET TO PLAY DURING EACH GAME?

As a recreational league, our program is designed to allow every child an opportunity to play in each game. Per our league rules, each child will play a minimum of 2 quarters of each game. We will have bookkeepers on staff during each game to track and maintain this information. Exceptions to this rule will be made in rare cases for disciplinary issues.

WHERE ARE ALL OF THE PARENTS AND PLAYERS GETTING ALL OF THEIR RED OAK BASKETBALL LEAGUE SHIRTS AND SWAG?

T-Shirts, Hoodies, Bags, and other swag items are available at redoakbasketball.org under the Store tab. These will be available throughout the season at the ROBL Pro Shop in the lobby by the concession stand.

IS THERE AN APP FOR LEAGUEAPPS WITH THE TEAM INFO AND SCHEDULE?

Yes. There is an app for Apple and Android that can be found in the app store by searching LeagueApps Play. This app will show practice and game schedules, team roster, and coach information. There is also a chat feature for the team to utilize.

I WANT TO REQUEST THAT MY CHILD PLAY WITH A CERTAIN COACH. HOW DO I SUBMIT THE REQUEST?

You may request a certain coach during the registration process. Please include first and last name. While we do not guarantee placement, our organization will do our best to honor these requests.
