COVID-19 REFUND POLICY:
In years past, despite weather challenges, we have always sought to make sure that each team is able to compete in at least 10 games during our various athletic seasons. In these still uncertain times, we will do our absolute best to work around the challenges that still lay before us concerning COVID-19. Should the City of Knoxville and/or other governing authorities choose to limit play as they did last year, there could be a chance we are not able to provide at least 10 games.
