The Spring sports that OCS will be offering are: Baseball, Girls Lacrosse, Girls Sand Volleyball, Girls Softball, Tennis, Track & Field and Boys Weightlifting. Please see below for more information about tryouts and requirements for participation.

1. FHSAA Physical Paperwork Packet

Anyone wishing to try out for a Spring sport must have all required paperwork turned in and be cleared by the athletic office BEFORE tryouts. Please click this LINK for the required paperwork checklist and physical packet. If you are unsure if your child already has updated paperwork turned in, please email Kristen McDonald at kmcdonald@ocsrams.org and she would be happy to check for you. If your child shows up to tryouts and is not cleared, they must go home or be sent to aftercare. Due to COVID safety restrictions, no one will be permitted to sit out and watch tryouts.

2. Parent Meeting Info

Once rosters are set after tryouts, we will hold parent meetings for all Spring sports. These may be in-person meetings but we will also provide zoom links for anyone uncomfortable attending in person. The dates, times and zoom links will be emailed out to team families soon after tryouts.

3. COVID Safety Measures

At the beginning of every practice, athletes will meet their coaches to be temperature checked and asked the COVID-19 monitoring questions. Once cleared to be at practice, athletes will be released to the changing rooms in small groups. After changing, they will meet their coach on the practice field. It is a requirement that all athletes wear a mask at all times, unless exerting themselves in physical activity. Also, no athlete will be allowed to practice unless they have their own personal water bottle with them. They can be refilled during practices at any of the bottle fillers around school.

This protocol is the same for off-campus sports. They will be checked-in before changing (if needed) and starting practice. Masks will still be worn at all times, unless exerting themselves in physical activity. They will also need their own personal water bottles to be able to practice.

4. Team Apparel

Each team will be collecting sizes for an apparel order for that sport. Please be patient, as we will be rushing to get these orders in and distribute to teams, but have had delays due to COVID in past seasons.

5. Team Fees

There will be a participation fee that is required for each sport and these fees can be found in the athletic physical packet link above. Your child’s sport may also have an apparel and/or uniform fee, depending on the requirements of that sport. These fees will be discussed in the parent meetings. We can accept cash, checks made payable to OCS or credit cards by calling into the athletic office or paying at the parent meeting. It is our desire that every child that wishes to play a sport at OCS is able to do so. If any of these costs prevent your child from being able to play, please contact David Pitts at dpitts@ocsrams.org for further help.

6. Schedules

Detailed practice and game schedules will be released as soon as possible and the most updated game schedule information will be posted on the OCS Athletic Website.
