Exact dates vary by sport. We generally we open registration 2-3 months before practices start to allow for adequate coach recruitment. OSPR only opens as many registration spots to fill teams we have coaches for. Once the league reaches capacity, join the waitlist! If/ when coaches are identified, players on the waitlist will be given a passcode to register.

Tryout attendance is not required. Players who do not attend may be considered a hat pick during the drafting process. 

Following tryouts, the coaches will draft teams. After drafts, the coaches will reach out to players within a week. Coaches are responsible for scheduling practices and will vary between 1-3 practices per week in the preseason. 

Practices are determined by the coach, and the OSPR court availability.
Depending on final team numbers and court availability, teams will play (on average) once per week, with the occasional 2 games per week.
