Frequently Asked Questions
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 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. For older girls that aspire to play college basketball we offer the chance to play on exposure teams as well as participate in individual exposure events.
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 $400. This fee
helps to pay for tournament fees and uniforms, along with any other administrative
costs.
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?
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.
