What is the Shadow Tournament Policy?
Shadow works diligently to plan and advertise all team tournaments for the year ahead prior to tryouts. Shadow requires all players to pay their fair share of tournament registration fees and coaches travel expenses for those tournaments advertised at the time of tryouts – whether they can attend or not. If, after the first team meeting, a team chooses to add a tournament to their schedule and a player has prior conflicts and cannot attend, they are not required to pay their share of tournament registration fees and coaches travel expenses. If guest players are added to the roster to replace missing players for a tournament, the guest players are required to pay their fair share of team expenses. If a Shadow player has a conflict with an Elite Player Development (EDP) or Olympic Development Program (ODP) event (tournament, game, camp, etc.), that player will not be required to pay their fair share of Shadow team tournament expenses, whether that tournament was scheduled prior to tryout
