Oak Grove is involved in a number of co-op sports with other
schools. These types of partnerships allow students to take part in sports where numbers at Oak Grove alone would have made participation in a sport uncertain. By entering into co-ops with other schools we assure our students the opportunity of participating in most sports.
Shanley assesses a $150 co-op fee per sport, which is billed to each family through Oak Grove's Business Office. Any questions concerning co-op sports in which your student would like to participate can be addressed to the Head Coach of each sport, Get more information and Shanley schedules at www.easterndakotaconference.org. Pocket-Sized Athletic Schedules
Grover Athletic Schedules are available in school offices and the Grover Store. The pocket-sized schedules list football, volleyball, and boys' and girls' basketball events.
Varsity Football and Volleyball Schedule
Home football games are played on Oak Grove's home field.
