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’.
Cash Call Accountability - Members need to be accountable to their teams with regards to contributing to the team budget. Failure to comply with the Cash Call Policy may result in becoming a "Member Not in Good Standing" (Section 3.4.5 of Southwest Hockey Policies & Procedures); because team budget expectations are applicable to all families on the team.
If you have concerns about how team budgets are being handled, please contact our Financial Coordinator or Treasurer.
