Mint Hill Athletic Association incurs various league, medical, security, uniform, insurance, and administrative fees which are not refundable to the organization.  Therefore, if you withdraw your child before the stated registration period closes out for a sport/program, we will provide a refund of the total registration fee, LESS A $40.00 admin fee.  Once a player is drafted/assigned to a team, there will be no refunds issued at that point. 

If a player is 6, 8 , or 10 years old in their respective divisions based on the correct age chart, they could "play up" in the next division for the Fall 2025 season if selected. Players would need to register for their "normal" division based on their age of May 1st, 2026 and select to play up on the registration form. Each player that opts to do this will need to attend both player assessments on their scheduled day and times. If that player is chosen in the draft by the head coaches of that division, that player will be placed on a roster within that division. Any additional fees will be invoiced at that time with payment due before the teams first practice. Players will need to show up to the "upper division assessments", if not they will not be considered and placed in their normal division. No exceptions. There are no guarantees these players will be chosen or selected in the division. If not selected, then they will need to attend their normal division player assessment and will be placed on a team accordingly. 

If you want your player to "Play Down" please contact us to discuss details and indicate on your player registration.
