Policies

We welcome all athletes as a part of FHL, and strive to maintain a club whose core principles include respect, inclusivity, humility, dedication, and winning/losing with dignity.It is our expectation that members of our club incorporate these principles into all of our programs and events.
​FHL is a competitive environment with professional coaches aiming to provide the best possible training. Interference by a parent, or any individual, trying to impede the mission or structure of the club will not be tolerated.

​There will be no coaching from the sideline, other than the coaching staff on the bench.

Concerns or issues must be directed to the athlete's coach, by the athlete. FHL encourages open and direct communication.

FHL is a premier training academy. Our first priority is to develop each player, but for those players participating on Select Teams, playing time is not guaranteed.

Attendance is a priority with Field Hockey Life. Individual and team growth is directly correlated to how much you practice. We expect all registered athletes to attend practices and tournaments. We understand emergencies arise and athletes might have conflicts occasionally, but all absences must be communicated early and will be handled on a case by case basis.

All participants must read and agree to the below registration and refund policies prior
to registering for an FHL program.

General Information:
FHL will honor requests for seasonal refunds for if requested 20 days or more prior to the start of the season.

All refund requests will be subject to a 5% processing/administrative fee, which will be withheld from the refunded amount.

If requesting a refund within 19 days of the season's start date, all refund requests must be accompanied by a doctor's note, and the note must be received prior to the first day of season in order to receive a refund.

Select and Premier Tryout Information:
Athletes who tryout for a select or premier team but are not named to a select or premier team will be automatically placed in the regional program. Refunds are NOT issued for this.

Tournament Refunds:

Regional tournaments are non-refundable should you need to miss a date.

Select and premier tournaments are non-refundable should you need to miss a date. Initial tournament fees are due 15 days after selection on a given travel team (select or premier).

​
Prorate Inquiries:
FHL does not prorate programs! We do our best to work around athlete schedules but if players need to miss sessions, we cannot deduct the price.

Weather Cancellations:
If inclement weather causes FHL to cancel a session, it is not guaranteed that the training will be rescheduled.

Clinics:
All one-day clinics are non-refundable. If you encounter an emergency and can not attend, please contact FHL and let them know.  If we encounter unfavorable weather, we will do our best to play through it or extend the clinic if facilities and staffing allow us to do so.

Camps:

Seven days or more prior to the start of camp, FHL will refund 1/2 the total price of the camp. Six days or less to the start of camp, FHL can not refund any of the total amount.  

If there is inclement weather conditions and practice needs to be cancelled, we will contact you and post the information as soon as possible.  We will do our best to make-up cancelled practices, but it is not a guarantee. 

Individual players may be asked to play up an age group at certain times. Coaches may move up players to even out numbers, and/or a player may be moved up to be more challenged. It is a priority within the club for individual development, as well as team development. Therefore, an athlete may be asked to play up an age group in certain cases.
