OSSAA Dead Week will take place June 27–July 5, 2026. During this time, all OSSAA member schools, including North Rock Creek, must observe a break from school-related athletic activities. This means there will be no school-sponsored practices, no use of school athletic facilities for athletic purposes, and no contact between coaches and student-athletes for training or instruction. Dead Week is designed to give our student-athletes time to rest, recharge, and enjoy a break from organized activities. We hope everyone enjoys the time off, and we look forward to seeing our Cougars back after Dead Week! 🐾
