CASH CALL POLICY & ACCOUNTABILITY
Southwest Hockey does have a Cash Call Policy - The cash-call is a dollar amount paid by the parent / guardian to the team in order to help fund the team budget. Funds that have not been spent by the end of the season (where cash calls were provided), are to be reimbursed to the parent / guardian who made the cash-call. This amount may be returned by the end of the season; depending on the success and method of team fundraising.
Deadline: 2026 OCT 31 - For cash calls to be paid to the team.
Where a cash call is a financial hardship, the member should contact the Manager and/or Head Coach in private; where monthly payment arrangements can be made between October and December 1st; and/or through additional fundraising opportunities that the family can use to generate the funds.

Important:
- Only up to the amount of the original cash-call can be returned.
- Under no circumstances are publicly raised funds permitted to be paid out to parents / guardians. AGLC funds are NOT permitted to be returned to families.
- Parents / Guardians are not permitted to ‘make money’.
Family Cash Call Accountability - All families are responsible for contributing to their team's budget. If the Cash Call Policy is not followed, a member may be designated as "Not in Good Standing" under Section 3.4.5 of the SHA Policies and Procedures, as team budget expectations apply to all families.
If you have concerns about how team budgets are being handled, please contact our Financial Coordinator or Treasurer.
