Grades K-3 Intramural Basketball
Intramural basketball for Our Lady of Peace parishioners and students in grades K-3 will be on most Saturdays in January and February from 3-4pm. The focus is for kids to have fun and be introduced to and practice basketball skills. Children perform drills and play games involving basketball and fitness. Depending on the skill level, some kids will also take part in a scrimmage toward the end of the hour. Baskets are lowered to accommodate their ability.
We always need Virtus-certified volunteers. You don’t have to be a basketball expert, just a little patient, energetic and have a good sense of humor. Please email the Athletic Director if you are interested in this volunteering opportunity.

Volunteers
Concession sales are a great fundraising opportunity for OLP athletics. It also creates a great atmosphere. All parents of basketball players will be expected to volunteer during the season. Students are a big help and often work the concessions as well. There will be an online sign –up with more information to come.
