When will I receive my equipment? Equipment handout is generally in late July.  Check the calendar on the Home page for dates and times.  Your coach will contact you regarding the exact date and location for pickup. 
When and where do we play our games? Games are played at the different communities in the league.  Grades 2, 3 & 4, for the most part play on Saturday.  Grades 5 and 6, for the most part play on Sunday. Our home field is at the 4/5 grade building. Other communities include Lakota, Kings, Loveland, Milford, Amelia, Anderson, Sharonville, Sycamore, and Indian Hill.
Where are practices held? Every year we reconfirm locations with the parks and recreation department. In the past, second graders have practiced by the "bus garage", and the other age groups have practiced in or around Corwin Nixon Park.
Can I request what team I would like to be on? No, if you are a new player in the league, your child will be drafted onto a team. Existing players continue with the same team up through the age groups.
What if we have twins, will they be on the same team? Yes
What equipment do I get to keep? You will be issued a personalized game jersey which the player keeps.

We normally have a year end Bowl game that is televised on Cable around the first week of November.
