Basketball & Volleyball Regular Season Scheduling: Athletic Director

All other sports, post-season tournaments, and CSAL athletic events: CSAL Director(s)

 Game times and locations are scheduled based on host facility and referee availability. OLF will try to avoid 8pm games when hosting home games during regular season, but 8pm games scheduled at away gyms and/or during post-season tournaments are not within our control. 

 Game scheduling for basketball and volleyball is subject to many variables, including but not limited to: gym availability, discrepancy in number of teams between OLF and smaller or larger schools, negotiating schedules with other A/Ds, varying Christmas and/or Spring breaks, and other competing factors such as proximity, skill level between teams, skill level between schools, referee availability, and facility oversight for home games. CSAL mandates a minimum number of games and the rest is contingent on the above factors for filling up the schedules for all levels. 

 Three coaches are allowed to sit on the bench for each team. All coaches must complete coaching requirements and be rostered prior to sitting on the bench.  

 Not necessarily. Team make-up is contingent on the number of registered participants. 

 Typically coaches require their teams to arrive 30 minutes prior to game time. There is very little warm-up time between games, so arriving early is helpful to get mentally and physically prepared to play.  

 Uniforms are distributed on team picture dates in the gym after school. Dates will be posted on the website as well as communicated through the Fatima Fanfare. 

  When post-season tournament play begins, athletes will need to bring a change of clothes in their sports bags to every game. Upon completion of their final game in the tournament, coaches will collect uniforms immediately afterward and turn into the Athletic Director. A $50.00 replacement fee will be assessed for any uniforms that are not returned to the program. 

 No. There are several Mandatory No Practice/Play Dates due to Holy Days and school breaks. Coaches are not to host practices, scrimmages or games during these scheduled dates, as specified in the Athletics Calendar on the OLF Athletics website.
