Refund Policy
Our refund policy is designed to minimize the impact on the event and its participating teams in case a team already selected for the event drops out. If a team drops out of the event before February 10, 2009, 50% ($600) of the team's registration fee will be refunded. If the team drops out after February 10, 2009, the registration fee is non-refundable. Teams that are not selected from the waiting list by March 1 (the official close of registration date) will receive a full refund of their team registration fee.

Age Definition
Player may not be 15 years of age on or before December 31, 2008 to be eligible for the 2009 US Lacrosse U15 National Championship.  Accordingly, players that turn 15 after December 31, 2008 are eligible.

US Lacrosse recognizes that this age definition does not match what is currently in the 2008 and 2009 NHFS and US Lacrosse rule books. The disqualifier for high school competition used at the US Lacrosse U-15 Youth Festival was purposely omitted from the participation requirements for this event to allow for broader participation. The US Lacrosse Youth Council Boys and Girls Youth Rules Sub-Committees annually review recommended youth rule changes and this rule is under consideration for addition into the 2010 rule books for some events run by US Lacrosse.
