 Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Where do I mail my Registration Fee check?
A. P.O. Box 263 Loveland, OH 45140

Q. I just registered my child to play. What happens next?
A. Once we receive your payment, your registration is considered complete. Your child will be part of the random, draw process we use to field our teams. If it is Fall season, the draw is held in mid-July. If it is Spring season, the draw is held in mid-February. You will find out about your child’s placement when you are contacted by his/her coach. This will not happen until AFTER the coaches meeting. Typically held early August for Fall and early March for Spring.

Q. Why can’t I request a particular coach? Or teammate for carpool purposes, etc...? 
A. SAY National guidelines require that we field all teams by random draw. All requests submitted will be disregarded. Aside from that, we have close to 1000 registrants each season and it would be impossible to manage special requests for that number of players.

Q. Can I non-request a coach?
A. Absolutely. If your child has had a coach that you believe was not a good fit for your child, you may request that he/she is not placed with that coach again. 

Q. I registered my child AFTER the on-time registration closed. Will he/she be placed on a team?
A. Our goal is to place all children, but it is not always possible. We base our team numbers and coaching needs on who is registered at the close of on-time registration. Sometimes we have players drop and we will use late registrants to fill in those holes. We hold a late draw two weeks after practices begin, to fill in available spots. Players can be added to teams up to 13 days after the team’s first game. A player that drops for a medical reason can be replaced at any time during the season.

Q. When is the late draw?
A. Typically it is held two weeks after practices begin.

Q. Can I get a refund after I register?
Refunds will not be issued after registration unless for the following reasons:

· Medical reasons (player only) must include doctor’s letter and phone number for verification

· Moving out of district before the start of the season (before uniforms are distributed)
