In order to be eligible to participate in the NHAHA tryouts a player must provide:
    1.  The Tryout Fee
    2.  The Commitment Fee check
At least two tryout sessions will be provided for each division. No part of the tryout fee will be refunded if one or more of the sessions is missed. No part of the tryout fee will be returned if a player does not accept the team he is assigned to.  No part of the tryout fee will be returned if a player does not make a team.

For more policies regarding tryouts please go to the tryouts page.

If a player decides to resign from NHAHA after having accepted a position, it is the responsibility of that player or that player’s parents to notify both an Executive Officer of NHAHA and either the Manager or Coach of that player’s team. The notification to the Executive Officer must be in writing.

What that player owes to NHAHA in order to obtain a release to play for another association will be determined by the date that the Executive Officer and Team Representative received notification of that decision. If they received notification after the first of the month, the player will be responsible to pay the monthly fee required of the team for that month whether or not the player practiced or played for the team during that month. If the player was rostered on a Tier I team, the amount due will be determined jointly by the NHAHA president and treasurer after consultation with the team coach and/or manager.

The cost of the Mandatory Raffle is included in the monthly payment schedule. Therefore, any player resigning from NHAHA must either return the raffle tickets or is responsible to pay the balance of the cost for them. Tickets cannot be returned after November 30th

The Commitment Fee will be deducted from the total tuition fee for each player. The remaining tuition will be divided into 7 reasonably equal payments due on the first of each month from June 1 to January 1. A payment schedule will be passed out prior to the beginning of the season.

If a player falls 2 months in arrears in payments, he/she will not be permitted to play or practice with the team unless alternate payment arrangements are made with the Treasurer. It is the responsibility of the player/parent to contact the treasurer if they become behind in payments to make alternate payment arrangements.

If NHAHA is charged a returned check fee for any player, that player is responsible to make the returned check good and also to pay the returned check fee.

All payments can be made by using a Visa or Master Card by utilizing the payment process procedure available on the home page of this web site.  All payments made will be credited to the payment record of the player indicated in the process.

If a player is unable to play in games or practice with their team for 30 or more consecutive days during the season, a reduction in total fees may be available .  The season is defined as August 14 to March 9.

 In order to receive the reduction, the parent must provide the Treasurer with a doctor’s excuse stating the beginning and ending dates of said illness/injury attached to the Reduction in Fee Form. The amount of the reduction will be determined by the NHAHA Treasurer after the doctor's excuse is received.

The initial notice to the treasurer of any inability to participate must be given in writing to the treasurer no later than 45 days after the beginning of the inabilty to participate.

The Commitment Fee will be collected at the first tryout. It is to be paid in a separate check from the Tryout Fee. The Commitment Fee will be held until tryouts are completed and the player has been notified of team placement.

If the player accepts placement, the commitment check will be deposited and becomes nonrefundable. If the player declines placement, the commitment check will be destroyed after notification of the refusal. If you desire to have the commitment check returned, you must supply a stamped self addressed envelope.

Twenty-four hours after notification if the player has failed to respond, the check will be deposited and become nonrefundable.
