The Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club Refund Policy applies to registration fees paid directly to the Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club.
The principle behind our refund policy is to allow a reasonable period of time following registration for parents/players to withdraw, while still safeguarding the long-term financial stability of our programs.
Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club commits to program expenditure based on registrations. The expenses are not recoverable to the program if/when a member withdraws.
All refund requests must be made in writing or email to the Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club Registrar by the individual who paid the fee(s).
An administrative fee will be charged on approved refunds. The Administration Fee will be set annually by Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club to reflect deductions at source that are not received by the club as part of the registration payment (Insurance, OLA Registration Fees, etc.) and that are not refunded to the club by the OLA.
The amount of any refund, including special or extenuating circumstances, is at the discretion of the Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club Board of Directors.
Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club shall not be responsible for any monies paid directly to a team, team coach, or team official, and Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club shall not entertain requests for any such refunds.
Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club shall not be responsible for any monies raised and collected by teams through sponsorship or fundraising efforts and shall not entertain requests for any such refunds.

Prior to submitting a release request, the player must be registered and paid with their resident OLA association for the current year.
The OLA “Release Request Form” for the current year must be used in all cases where a player wishes to be released from his/her current lacrosse association in order to sign and play for another association.
The player, the parent or the guardian must complete all fields in Section 1 of the form and send it to the President of the association from which the release is requested.
Only the information presented in Section 1 will be considered; new reasons for a release will not be entertained should the association’s decision be appealed at any other level.
The association must respond to the applicant within 72 hours to acknowledge receipt of the request for a release. Within a reasonable time, the association is responsible for setting a date, time and location for when a release hearing will be held so that the applicant may be present to formally discuss the request.
There may be a fee for a release hearing at the association level.
Following the hearing, the association must complete Section 2 of the form with written reasons for granting or denying the request and provide the applicant with the information necessary to appeal to the Zone, should the applicant qualify to do so under the OLA Appeal’s Process. The reasons for submitting an appeal at any level are outlined in OLA Rules and Regulations.
OLA Fair Play Code of Conduct
The Ontario Lacrosse Association’s Fair Play Code of Conduct establishes clear expectations for behaviour and sportsmanship for all participants in the game, including players, parents, coaches, officials, and volunteers.

All members of the lacrosse community are expected to understand and follow these guidelines to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.
