Age Determination For Spring Leagues

  • How do I reserve a field or pavilion? (for those not affiliated with an Ocee Park Athletic Association team)

    Individuals or groups not affiliated with OPAA must apply to and gain approval from the City of Johns Creek to obtain a field or pavilion use permit. Follow this link for more information: http://www.johnscreekga.gov/pdf/forms/parks/field-rental.pdf
     

Schedule

  • Why does my child's league play evening games?

    Saturday schedules are clustered by age groups.

    There are several reasons for this:

    • Four of our leagues have different time limits.
    • Three of our leagues have different field dimensions.
    • We use different umpires for different age groups so we need to have the same leagues playing back to back for our umpires schedule to work in the most economic way.
    • Coordination of baseball and softball schedules
    • Parking

    The majority, if not all, the other parks in our area and throughout the country schedule Saturday games the same as we do: younger kids early and older kids later in the day and early evening.

    We understand how a sports schedule impacts a family. However, one good thing about late Saturday games is that it's a great time for a team to go out as a group for pizza/dinner after the game.
