FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For those parents that are new to Diocesan Sports there are a few things you need to be aware of:

Why does it take so long to get the schedule for our games? 

The Schedules are always handed out the week the games start.  The reason is that the Diocese Recreation office has to wait on info from all the Catholic Schools in the Columbus Diocese.  It would actually hurt our teams if the cut off was earlier, especially since we usually have a few kids change their mind and decide to play at the last moment.  So please be patient, it has always been this way and it doesn't look like it will change any time soon.
