We have a no refund policy with limited consideration (not guaranteed) for injuries supported by doctors note. Please read the policy on the refund policy tab. No refund will be considered due to a players conflicting personal or athletic commitment regardless of if roster spot is backfilled.

Everyone who is selected to the team will play, however we do not guarantee equal playing time. Our coaches will put us in the best position to win.
USA Lacrosse Membership
US Lacrosse membership is not required to participate with our club; however, it is strongly encouraged. Further, it may be required by tournaments that we participate in. Any fee required for USA Lacrosse membership is not included in the Unity registration fee.
Please see our refund policy page.
Refund Policy is that there are no refunds, but we will consider partial refund for injuries supported by a DOCTOR'S NOTE only. We budget according to anticipated rosters and last year we had a significant number of injuries that financially hurt us.
Consideration for injuries accompanied by doctor's note is as follows:
All refunds will be credited to future Unity offseason event or next summer's registration fee.
No refund for any other reason besides an injury regardless of if we can backfill the roster position.
