PLAYERS AND PARENTS
Team Rosters will be posted on December 2nd with practices beginning the week of December 9th. January 11th will be the first game weekend. March 1st will be the Final Tournament.
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, Ovilla Christian School, or Glenn Heights Community Center.
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.
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.

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 or Ferris High School. Stay tuned for further details to come.
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.

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.
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 or consecutively missed practices.
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.
