What do I do if I need to remove my child from the league after he/she is registered?
If teams have been selected, please inform your coach and the league that your child will no longer be participating in the league. If teams have not been selected,
please phone the league hot line at 752-6221 and formally request a refund. If you request a refund before we order a uniform for your child, you will receive a full refund
of your registration fees. If you request a refund after the uniforms have been order, you will receive a refund minus the cost of the uniform (approximately $25.00) since we order
all uniform exactly as parent's request on the registration form. All drops and requests for refunds must be directed to the league hot line (752-6221) for a refund to be considered.
Players that drop from the league and do not request a refund at the time of the drop will not receive a refund once games have begun. The league must receive an official drop
from a parent or guardian so a child from the waiting list may be placed on the team. Drops that occur once the games have begun will receive a refund amount at the discretion of the
board of directors.
