FAQS about
the Ohio Express
When
and where are the games played?
Tournaments
are played during the months of April-June. Tournaments are almost always
played on the weekends. We play in tournaments throughout Central Ohio.
We will play in between 6-8 tournaments.
Where
and when will we practice?
Players
and parents are asked to help get practice time donated from their local
school districts and organizations (churches, YMCA, etc.). It is our goal
not to have to pay for any practice time. We ask that each member of a
team supply at least one practice to their team. Yes, all games and pratices
are mandatory.
What
age bracket does my daughter qualify for?
Age
is determined by your daughters’ age as July 1, 2007.
What
are some of the benefits?
Many, we offer excellent coaching; we stress sound fundamental
basketball, offer free instructional clinics and open gyms. Give you the
chance to play basketball with girls of the same ability and better prepares
you for school ball.
Is
this for my daughter and I?
Only
you can answer that. If you want to give your daughter the chance to play
with and against some of the better players in the state. If you would
like the chance to get away and see other parts of the state while meeting
and befriending other parents and girls from different school districts
then YES this is for you!
What
is the cost for all of this?
The
cost of playing for the Ohio Express is $300. This fee helps to pay for
tournament fees and uniforms, along with any other administrative costs.
We get bulk discounts on uniforms and tournaments to help give you more
bang for your basketball dollar. You will also be asked to participate
in at least one fundraiser to help with expenses and to help keep your
cost down.
What
if my daughter wants to play but I don’t think we can afford it?
Call
us! The Ohio Express works with local churches and charities to supply
numerous girls with confidential scholarships to girls that want to play
but can’t afford it. Coaches and other parents are usually more
than happy to help with transportation problems as well.
What
team will my daughter play on and is she guaranteed a spot on a team?
Teams
are divided into Blue, Gold and White teams and no one is guaranteed a
spot on a certain team. Players will be placed on teams by the Board of
Directors with input from the coaches. The final say goes to the Board
on where players are placed. While we don’t want to turn anyone
away, we cannot guarantee everyone will be placed on a team. We will do
our best to place everyone that wants to play on a team.
