During the season
Where are home games?
Basketball plays at Don Owen Sports Center and McGee Center; volleyball at Conway Community Center. See Gyms & directions.
How do I follow just my child's team?
On the Basketball or Volleyball page, tap Save on your team. The home page and schedule then show a My teams filter. On the calendar you can also pick your teams and add their games to your phone.
Can I watch games online?
Volunteers livestream games when WiFi or cellular service permits. When a stream is available, a Watch link appears on the game in the calendar.
Families and game days
Do parents have to volunteer?
Yes. Every family helps run home games, with jobs like scorebook, clock, stats, and admissions. Pick your slots on the volunteer sign-up.

There are three options. The Family Pass ($100) covers the pass holder, their spouse, and dependent children in the same household (high school age or younger). The Grandparents Pass (2) ($50) admits two grandparents of Falcons players, and the Grandparents Pass (1) ($25) admits one. Details
Who do I talk to about a concern?
Start with your coach, and wait 24 hours after a game. For anything else, see who to contact.
