League Information
In the past, we have not had enough participation with just our OAA community. Because of this, we have been able to build a great relationship with other communities in our area. This year we will be joining North Saint Paul Association. (Please note in the rules, there B-League is called "Minors").
The season will start the week of April #th, weather permitting, and goes thru August #th. Teams will practice once a week at Oakdale fields, and games will start at the end of May. Practice time/locations will be set after coordinating with coaches.There will be a Season-End Tournament August #th-#th.
