The $100 Administrative fee will be waived if the withdrawal meets any of the following guidelines:

• Unexpected move out of the state of Arizona. 
• Player suffers an injury that would hinder his/her ability to continue play.  Injury withdrawals must be supported with paperwork from attending physician. 
• Player is cut from their pure high school team because there are insufficient openings and there are no other teams available at the school such as a Varsity or JV team to assign the player to.  AHSHA will make every attempt to place the player on a different school’s team in the same geographic area should there be openings.  However, a cut player may refuse to be placed on a different school’s team.¹
