*Multiple Children Discount- We offer a $75 discount on each child registered AFTER your first one. Enter code SIBLING in each player's registration AFTER your first child.
*It is our goal to continue to field Lady Hawks teams at as many age divisions available based on interest. However, if full teams are unable to be formed, girls will be rostered on co-ed teams based on evaluations.
*Girls that choose to duel roster (play for a co-ed team and an all girls Lady Hawk team) will be sent a request to pay the additional team fee once teams are made.
*At the end of the registration you will be able to purchase Jerseys, socks, warm-ups, and bags. This is optional, you do NOT have to purchase items at this time. They will also be available for purchase at one of our jersey fitting sessions. Dates/Times to be announced.
*If you do purchase an item, you need to attend a fitting session to get sized.
*14u-This season we will have tryouts, not evaluations at the 14u level. We will make every effort to have a spot for all players that sign up, but with the vast skill range and the introduction of checking at this level, we may have to make a hard decision and cut some players. This decision was not made lightly. Hopefully, we have plenty of players sign up at all skill levels and do not have to make any cuts and this is a non-issue.
*14u- If you do not make a team, you will get a full refund minus a $50 tryout fee.
*16u-Tryout only fee is Non-Refundable. If you make the team, you will be sent a request to pay the additional $700 fee.
*SIIH reserves the right to refuse registration at its discretion with written notification to the registrant.
