Gym Locations

GYM SCHEDULES

OSBA primarily rents gym facilities from the four Ottawa School Boards: CECCE, OCSB, CEPEO and OCDSB. City of Ottawa facilities are also used on occasion. Times and locations change from year to year and are dependent on school board permit decisions. Gym assignments by team is a very difficult process. As much as possible, the OSBA gym coordinator will assign times based on the following principles: 

• Core/Central Gym locations - South Keys, Riverside South, Findlay Creek, Manotick (St Mark HS).
• Non-Central Gym locations - Metcalfe, Greely, Kars.
• Practice times and locations are assigned by September and are subject to the receipt of approved permits from Ottawa School Boards.
• Assigned practice times are between 6:00 and 10:15 pm on weeknights.
• 1.0 hour practice for small ball once/week on the weekend. Core/central gym location.
• 1.5 hour practices for house league once/week up to U14 -- U16 and U19 are 2 hours once/week. Core/central gym location as much as possible.
• 1.5 hour practices up to U10 and 2 hour practices for U11 and older for all competitive teams — competitive teams practice twice/week.
  • Allocation of 1 core/central practice location and 1 non-central practice for each competitive team as required.
  • Allocation of 1 Tile gym and 1 Wood gym for each competitive team as required.
• Provide core/central locations for house league and small ball teams as much as possible, unless gym cancellations require adjustment elsewhere.
• Reserve larger gyms for competitive groups and older house league groups where possible. 
• If possible, leave open gym slots on Tuesdays, Thursday, Friday for anticipated gym cancellations that occur due to school activities and statutory holidays.
• Avoid Monday/Friday practice combinations and back-to-back practice nights except where requested.
• Coach availabilities will be considered as much as possible with these guidelines in consideration.
• Extra training can be requested by coaches into open gym times when available.

These numbers assume the current inventory of facilities are approved by the School Boards. Any reduction in the number of permits or permit times and changes in predicted teams/coach availability will have an impact on gym scheduling. Circumstances may not allow for all of these principles to be met for every team due but this principles are always considered and adhered to as much as possible.
