Dispute Resolution Policy
Any player or parent with a concern must contact Lori Eaton. Our registration and practice group are charged monthly. At any time a player can be released from the club if so desired, provided they are payed up for the month. The local team has made a committment and must follow through with that committment financially before a release is allowed. The travel team must also follow through with their financial committment before a release is allowed.
