Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, The Oaks Academy athletic teams have new home facilities. Our home soccer field will be located west of our middle school where the Monon Trail crosses 16th Street at Frank & Judy O'Bannon Old Northside Soccer Park. Our volleyball and basketball teams will play home games at the JTV Hill Center located one block north of the middle school on 16th Street.

Transportation:
Transportation to away games will be provided from our middle school. Return transportation to our middle school will be provided for away games occurring outside of I-465. Fifth grade participants will need their own transportation from our Fall Creek campus or Brookside campus to practice, home games, and our middle school to catch the bus for away games.
