Frequently Asked Questions

Registration Questions:

IT'S NOT SHOWING THE EARLY DEADLINE DISCOUNT

Q: I'm signing up before the Early Deadline but it doesn't show the Early Deadline discount.  Why is this so?

A: It will not credit the discount until you reach the payment screen.

COACH REQUEST

Q: When I register, can I request a coach?

A: Unfortunately not.  The only request permitted during registration is a "Sibling" or "Friend" request.

FRIEND REQUEST

Q: What's a "Friend" request?

A: OGS allows friends to play together if the request is a direct match.  In other words, if your child has a friend in the same age bracket he/she wants play with, each child must request one another under the "Friend Request." If both children request one another, it is a guarantee that both will be on the same team so long as all other OGS conidtions are satisfied.

MULTIPLE FRIENDS WANT TO PLAY TOGETHER

Q:  There are 2 or 3 of us who are good family friends and we want our children to play on the same team. Can that be done?

A:  YES and NO. Let us remind you that a "Friend" request is guaranteed when two children request each other and it results in a "direct match."  OGS does not allow triangle "Friend" request (i.e. - Tabitha requests, Jason requests Abby, and Abby requests Tabitha).  The way to make such a request work is for parents to volunteer to coach together.  Coach's kids should not request each other because they are already guaranteed to be on the same team.  Each coach's child should request a friend.  This allows for at least 4 kid friends to play together.

DOES MULTIPLE KIDS MEAN MULTIPLE PRACTICE NIGHTS?

Q: We want to sign our kids up to play but don't want multiple practice nights.  Is that possible?

A: No problem at all if you choose "Sibling" request and each child request one another.  If you have more than 2 kids, choose "Sibling" request for each and match accordingly.  Be sure to follow-up your registration with a call or email to OGS to ensure we understand that you have multiple kids that need to practice on the same night.
