• Only fully completed forms will be processed
• Only the information included on the form will be considered during the hearing or any subsequent appeals.
• In Minor lacrosse, there is no such thing as “trying out” for any centre other than your own centre.
• Hearings must be held.  if the applicant requesting the release refuses to attend the hearing, the release will not be granted. 
• After a hearing is held the applicant will recieve a written decision from hearing chairperson within 5 business days.

BRANTFORD JUNIOR AP POLICY

The Brantford JR C Warriors team is affiliated with the Brantford Minor Lacrosse and may call up minor players on a game by game basis.  The following policies apply to this process.

1. Permission (email) must be obtained in writing from the Head Coach.
2. The President must be copied when permission is granted.
3. The player’s first obligation is always to the team for which he is registered.

This policy will give all players the opportunity to gain experience in the skills required to transition to the appropriate level of Junior lacrosse while protecting the rights of the team where they are currently registered. It also protects the rights of the players who are currently registered on the Junior teams.
There can be no exceptions to this policy except by Board approval.
