This form must be used in all cases where an athlete wishes to be released from their current club in order to register and play for another club. The athlete, parent, or legal guardian is responsible for completing all required fields in full. Only the information provided within this form, including any supporting documentation attached at the time of submission, will be considered. New or additional reasons will not be accepted at any stage should the Club’s decision be appealed.

Important Submission Periods

Club Review Process

Upon receipt of a release request, the Club is required to acknowledge receipt within seventy-two (72) hours and the Club must schedule a release hearing within a reasonable timeframe. All parties, including the athlete and at least one parent or guardian, must be invited to attend the hearing. The fee to apply for a release hearing at the Club level shall not exceed $100.00.

Appeals Process

If a release request is denied and the applicant is eligible to appeal, a written appeal must be submitted within five (5) business days of receipt of the Club’s decision.

Appeals must be emailed to the OLA Case Manager at casemanager@ontariolacrosse.com and must include all required documentation along with a $100 non-refundable appeal fee (Level 1 – Merit Review).

If the appeal is deemed to have merit, the matter will proceed to a hearing. If merit is not granted, the Club’s decision is final.
