Requesting Additional Basketball Practice Time

Requesting Additional Basketball Practice Time

New to OHYA in 2015 is the ability to request specific additional basketball practice times. These times will be 1 hour, ½ court practices. Upon completing a request, the scheduling coordinator will accept or decline the time and you will be notified by e-mail. Due to the vast number of teams and limited gym time to accommodate them, we ask that you follow some common sense guidelines.

1)Only request additional practices when you have one or less scheduled in a given week. All teams lose practices due to school events or closures. If you have two practices, please do not request a 3rd. If you, as coach, choose to cancel one of your scheduled practices in a week for any reason, this IS NOT justification for requesting an additional practice.

2)Never request a time, then not use it. Custodians view our schedules online and are very good to inform us what teams did not arrive for a practice. The Custodians adjust their work schedules to accommodate our teams using the gyms, so please use any times requested. Without a great relationship with the schools, we cannot offer basketball.

3)Do not request any time block in the gyms for any purpose other than an OHYA basketball practice.

Specific Instructions (Head Coach only) are as follows:

1)On the OHYA website home page , click schedules on the main toolbar.

2)You will have three options: Facility Requests, Schedules, and login, select login.

3)It will request your e-mail, which is the e-mail you provided when registering and a password. Your password is coach

4)Choose Facility Requests

  1. Use the date range fields to narrow your search
  2. Under complex, uncheck the box for OHYA Training Facility – Harrison, OH
  3. Refine your search as you desire, but a broader search is better to see what is truly available

5)After clicking “request” after your desired time slot, follow the continue prompts until you are checking out just like any online shopping. Once your order is complete, you will receive an e-mail response within 24 hours accepting or declining the time requested.

6)Basketball facilities require a minimum of 2 days before the event date, and a maximum of 3 weeks
