BEFORE YOU SIGN UP…
Download the OKCPAL App. This will give you immediate access to PAL schedules and standings.
PAL sports seasons run 7/8 weeks long - 5/6wks of regular season play and 2 weeks of playoffs. Please sign up if your availability allows for you to be a consistent, positive adult role-model to our student-athletes.
ANY ASSISTANT COACH MUST ALSO COMPLETE OKCPS BACKGROUND CHECK. No person is allowed to interact with young people, including at practices and on the sidelines at games, unless approved by OKCPAL.
COACHES CLINIC
This clinic is mandatory for all coaches who wish to be paid a stipend. Even if you don't want to be paid a stipend, we still want to make sure you are getting all of the information that you'll need throughout the seasons. If you don't show up for the coaches clinics and don't have a good reason, you'll be a regular volunteer.
