Referral tuition refunds are awarded when the SSRA registrar receives a referral form, with the referring family name on the form. Referral refunds are mailed to members after registering for the season.

Referrals must come from returning members. New members who wish to refer others, can request a referral certificate from Chuck.

Tuition can be refunded in full until the end of the second day of participation with the team (Contact SSRA Registrar). Upon the third day of participation, refund requests should be made to SSRA Exective Director, Chuck Holcomb. Refunds are routinely granted in the case of injury, etc. All refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis by the SSRA Board of Directors

Granting exceptions to SSRA programs are rare and should be submitted in writing to Executive Director, Chuck Holcomb. Requests will be discussed with the SSRA Board of Directors and considered on a case-by-case basis.

At any time, an athlete can upgrade an SSRA team program (provided the athlete is age-eligible for the team program). Upgrade tuition differences are pro-rated from the date of the upgrade with all of the upgraded program considered.

All SSRA athletes are required to purchase and wear an SSRA team uniform during training and on race days. Team uniforms must display the SSRA team sponsors. Deposits are required in advance of the team order (usually mid-winter for following season). New members may purchase from the existing team coat inventory. The goal is to maintain each team coat for at least 3 years. SSRA orders an underlayer (soft shell, etc.) every 2-4 years. SSRA orders an outerlayer (parka, etc.) every other years.

All members must read and acknowledge, by signature, that they have done so, on the SSRA enrollment form. Coaches undergo concussion training as per the Washington State Lystedt Law. When an athlete shows signs of concussion or is suspected to have a concussion, SSRA policy mandates that coaches sit them out, when in doubt. Athletes may return to training and competition only after a written clearance from a doctor trained in concussion identification and management (training within last 3 years) is provided to the SSRA Executive Director. All U21, U18, U16, and U14 athletes must complete pre-season impact baseline cognitive tests every two years. Each athlete must take the baseline test every two years.
