 8/25: The game schedule is now posted. You will see the Orono only schedule on the Grade pages for the grade and Team pages for the team. If you want to view the entire LMAA by grade, district or team, click on the LMAA tab under Game Schedule. 

Remember, you can use the RSS or iCal feed to automate your calendar. The Game schedule calendar is separate from the Non-Game calendar on the Team page. The Game calendar is a feed from the master calendar held on the LMAA site. You will need to use the feed from each calendar if you want both automated on your personal calendar.

August 23.  Registration is now closed. Rosters have been submitted to the LMAA.  We had a record year with 227 players. We are up from 216 last year and from 185 just 5 years ago. 

 As we approach the season, here are some FAQ

Q.  When does practice start?

A.  OYF follows the MN high school schedule. First practice is Monday August 16. Each team will determine its own practice schedule. Typical days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Most teams will practice at least 3 days a week. Typical weekday start time for August is 6:00. 

Q.  When are tryouts? What team is my son on?

A.  We use the first week of practice to evaluate the players. Team draft takes place by the coaches around the end of the first week of practice.

Q.  When is the equipment hand out?

A.  There is no equipment to hand out. The list of equipment to be supplied by parents is listed on the website and should be brought to the first practice.

Q.  Can I specify a team or friend for my son to play?

A.  No. We only work to create equal teams based on coach evaluations. Additional requests can not be managed.

Information regarding practice will be each team's coach decision.  Any practice or game  is automatically cancelled/delayed in the event of lightening for a period of 30 minutes following last lightening. In cases of wet fields, practice location may vary within the general area behind the high school in order to maintain the condition of the game fields.

Many of the fields can handle the wet weather we have seen in recent weeks. Do not assume a game is cancelled for rain at 4:00. Expect a game to be on unless you hear from a coach or read it on this page of the website.
