Participating in the Seacoast Snipers is a commitment and not a recreational program.
Seacoast Snipers are dedicated to excellence in lacrosse and sportsmanship, and expects players to conduct themselves as examples to all. All players must conduct themselves accordingly or they may be dismissed from the team at the sole discretion of the Directors. The Directors of Seacoast Snipers maintain exclusive decision-making authority over all activities and operations including, but not limited to, coaching appointments, player evaluation and assignment, league placements, public relations, finances, and player and/or family member conduct, behavior and disciplinary action.
All players are expected to attend all practices. If a player cannot make a practice for a certain reason, contact must be made to their coach at least one day prior. Missing multiple practices without a legitimate excuse could affect a player’s ability to participate in certain tournaments.
Parents are required to defer to the Seacoast Snipers Directors for all decisions regarding the players, and how they are to be coached. Those parents, who wish to become more involved in the program, please don’t hesitate to contact us and let us know how you can help.
US Each lacrosse player is required to be a member of US Lacrosse and adhere to the US Lacrosse Code of Conduct. Go to www.uslacrosse.org to become a member or renew your membership.
Tournament Policies:
Practice and tournament dates and locations, and, registration forms will be available on the website.
All travel and accommodation expenses for tournaments are the responsibility of the player’s family. Information regarding directions to tournaments, hotels, and player waivers are available on the website.
Tournament participation and player positioning on the teams is the sole decision of the coaches. It will be based on team needs and players performance, NOT on requests or parental input. Rosters and game schedules will be available the week of the tournament.
Players will arrive at the field for tournaments 45 minutes before their first scheduled game and 30 minutes before each subsequent game. They should be in full uniform and prepared to warm up at that time. If this rule is not adhered to, the player may lose playing time for that game.
Fees and Refund policy:
Membership is paid annually and is the same for all players. Full payment must be made by May 15, 2009. Since player registration holds a spot on the roster, your membership fee is non-refundable. The membership fee pays for all uniforms, practices and tournament fees.
Seacoast Snipers will keep records of all transactions. However, parents are encouraged to do so as well. There will be a charge of $25.00 for returned checks.
Once fees are paid, it will not be refunded or credited for future play FOR ANY REASON (this includes change of family plans, player injury, or illness). Seacoast Sniper tournament, league, and facility rental expenses are pre-paid in advance. Inability for us to field a team that we have submitted threatens our participation at future tournaments!
