November is a month filled with holidays and special days of remembrance. November 1st was Notional Cookie Monster Day. November 3rd was National Daylight Savings Day. November 11th was Veteran's Day. November 13th was the day that Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. November 29th is Thanksgiving Day. But perhaps the most important day in November is today, November 25th, the LAST DAY THAT YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR CHILD'S RECREATION BASKETBALL REGISTRATION WITHOUT FEELING EXTREME SHAME AND GUILT. That's right, today -- MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2019 -- is the deadline for submitting registration's for the 2019-2020 rec basketball season. How do I know this? Because this is a picture of all the registrations dropped off in my mailbox and/or The Brown Box of Shame yesterday and today. Texts and e-mails from anguished parents are making my phone buzz like a hive of agitated bees. You have until midnight tonight to submit your forms. Rest assured that the OBA's crack staff of Professional Registration Processors are standing by to process your registrations. It's 6:00 pm. Do you know where your registration is? There is one available for download from the OBA's website at www.leaguelineup.com/oba.

11/11/2019

Only two weeks until Oceanport Rec Basketball Registrations are due (11/25)! Just because you have until the 25th of November, however, doesn't mean you should wait till the 25th to submit. If you submit your registrations early, you'll sleep better at night, be less anxious during the day, lose weight and look ten to twenty years younger! I'm not kidding! This is what Jim Murphy looked like before and after he submitted his son's rec registration last year. Submitting an early registration changed Jim's life and it can change yours, too! You can download a registration form from the OBA website at www.leaguelineup.com/oba.
