The registration fees payable to the club cover a number of administrative expenses, including but not limited to: field time, permits, practices and games, Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) team and provincial entry fees, equipment, coaching certification, referees and timekeepers, iPad rental for Game Sheet Inc., insurance and the Lacrosse Canada (LC) member fees per player.

Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse plans to offer a full roster of teams for the 2024 season; however, everything is dependent on interest and overall numbers of players registered. If OSML is unable to offer the program that your child is registered for, you will receive a full refund.

Update: ONLY U9, U15, U17 in 2024

All refund requests must be made in writing or email to the Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club Registrar by the individual who paid the fee(s).

An administrative fee will be charged on approved refunds ($50 for 2024). The Administration Fee will be set annually by Owen Sound 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.

There will be a $30.00 fee for all NSF cheques.

The amount of any refund, including special or extenuating circumstances, is at the discretion of the Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club Board of Directors.

Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club shall not be responsible for any monies paid directly to a team, team coach, or team official, and Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club shall not entertain requests for any such refunds.

Owen Sound 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.

Full registration fees will be refunded due to programs failing to be offered.

The Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club Refund Policy applies to registration fees paid directly to the Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse Club. All other refund requests must be submitted to the Board of Directors for review.

No. For insurance purposes, all players must be registered to attend tryouts. Players that do not make a rep team will be refunded.

All players are required to attend tryouts in order to be considered for a position on a Rep Team. It is expected that players and families will make every effort to attend the posted tryout dates. Any exception must be approved in advance.

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.

(i.e. Team 1 vs Team 2)

No. Players cannot self-select the rep team that they wish to play for. If a player does not make either of the Rep Box teams, they are eligible to play in the OSML local league program. The team that your child will play on will be determined entirely by the coaches for that age group based on skill level.

Rep Box Teams play their regular season games against other teams in Zone 8. This consists of 9 lacrosse clubs including Arthur, Brantford, Cambridge, Centre Wellington, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, North Perth, Owen Sound and West Grey.
