Referral tuition refunds are awarded when the SSRA registrar receives a referral, with a name, from a new member's electronic enrollment. Referral refunds are mailed to members after registering for the season. Referrals must come from returning members. Referral refunds are $50, per referral. 

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.

FTYSL, YSL, and INTRO Tuitions are pro-rated when athletes begin in January or later.

Please contact Executive Director with questions about other programs.

All discounts (referral discounts, new member discounts, early bird discounts, coaches, etc.) are deducted from full tuition prices. 

Early Bird tuition discounts are approximately 5% and awarded to returning members who register by October 15, 2015 for the 2015-2016 season.

SSRA Coaches receive 30% tuition discounts on their children's tuition.

To receive the above discounts, a coupon code must be used during online enrollment.

Members who may qualify for multiple tuition discounts must choose one. Multiple tuition discounts are not allowed. The spirit of SSRA's various discount policies is to extend discounts to many members for different reasons and qualifying criteria.

Scholarships are applied for annually. Applicants must be returning members to SSRA. Applications must be completed in full and submitted by the deadline. Tuition awards are deducted from SSRA full tuition amounts. No other tuition discounts can be used when using a scholarship to reduce tuition.

All athletes participating in SSRA training programs may race only as SSRA athletes. Athletes must designate their team as SSRA on entry forms.

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, U19, 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.
